The Milwaukee Bucks have obtained veteran guard Caris LeVert from the Detroit Pistons in a trade that sends forwards Taurean Prince and Gary Harris to Detroit, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported.
The agreement also delivers two second-round draft picks to Milwaukee.
According to ESPN front-office insider Bobby Marks, the move gives the Pistons additional salary-cap flexibility and creates a trade exception.
LeVert, 32, is entering the final season of his contract and is owed just under $14.9 million for the 2026-27 campaign. Prince and Harris, who each exercised their player options earlier this offseason, are set to earn about $3.8 million apiece.
LeVert joins a Bucks roster that has been overhauled since the blockbuster deal that sent Giannis Antetokounmpo to Miami. The veteran wing adds scoring punch and playmaking experience to Milwaukee’s backcourt rotation.
Detroit, meanwhile, trims future payroll while adding a pair of rotation forwards as it continues reshaping its roster.
