Veteran Guard Leaves Pistons for Kings in NBA Free Agency
- Dennis Schröder signed a contract worth $45 million over three seasons with the Sacramento Kings, concluding his short stint with the Detroit Pistons in 2025.
- Schröder joined Detroit at the 2024-25 trade deadline after Jaden Ivey suffered a season-ending leg injury in January, creating a need for a secondary ball-handler and scorer.
- Over the course of 28 regular-season games with Detroit, he contributed an average of 10.8 points and 5.3 assists, then elevated his scoring to 12.5 points per game during the Pistons’ six-game opening playoff matchup against New York.
- Sacramento traded star guard De'Aaron Fox last season and experimented unsuccessfully with Malik Monk at point guard before signing Schröder to address their backcourt logjam.
- In his 13th NBA season, Schröder will join the Kings as his tenth team, addressing a key vacancy at the point guard position after playing for Brooklyn, Golden State, and Detroit during the 2024-25 season.
