Wiseman played 60 games with the Warriors after being drafted as the No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 NBA draft. During his run with the Warriors, Wiseman averaged 9.9 points on 54.1% shooting from the floor with 5.0 rebounds and 0.7 blocks in 18.3 minutes per game.
During the 2022-23 season, Wiseman played in 21 games, recording 6.9 points and 3.5 rebounds in 12.5 minutes per game.
The Memphis product will get the chance to fight for minutes with Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart in Detroit’s frontcourt.
The Warrior will pick up some financial flexibility after trading Wiseman. Bob Myers and Steve Kerr will also get five more picks to use as potential supply for another trade on deadline day.
The NBA trade deadline is set to come to a close at 12 p.m. PT on Thursday afternoon.
