REPORT: Pistons Acquire Guard Monte Morris From Wizards

The Detroit Pistons have made their second move of the day, acquiring combo guard Monte Morris from the Washington Wizards for a second-round pick, first announced by Shams Charania of The Athletic:

This trade comes as a cap-clearing move for the Wizards, who created a $9.8 million trade exception with this deal. Meanwhile, the Pistons continue to add guard depth by taking on contracts teams are looking to unload, similar to Detroit's acquisition of Joe Harris earlier on Friday.

Morris, who averaged 10.3 points and 5.3 assists per game as Washington's starting point guard last season, will provide an immediate upgrade over Killian Hayes and Cory Joseph as Detroit's primary backup point guard.
