The Detroit Pistons are on the verge of landing guard Isaiah Joe from the Oklahoma City Thunder, with ESPN reporting the deal on Friday. Detroit will send two future second-round draft picks to Oklahoma City to complete the transaction.
Joe, who will celebrate his 27th birthday next week, put together the finest scoring season of his career in 2024-25, averaging 11.1 points per game. He connected on 45.5% of his field goal attempts and knocked down 42.3% of his three-point shots across 71 appearances, including nine starts.
Over the course of his professional career, Joe has appeared in 392 games — with 38 starts — for the Philadelphia 76ers and the Thunder, averaging 8.2 points and 2.1 rebounds per contest.
Joe entered the NBA when the 76ers selected him in the second round of the 2020 NBA Draft after his college career at Arkansas. Most recently, he added an NBA championship ring to his resume after the Thunder won the title in the 2024-25 season.
