Simone Fontecchio has spent part of two seasons playing for the Detroit Pistons.

He finished the 2024-25 season with averages of 5.9 points and 2.9 rebounds per contest while shooting 40.2% from the field and 33.5% from the three-point range in 75 games.

On Sunday, Michael Scotto of HoopsHype reported that the Pistons are looking to move the 29-year-old.

Via Scotto: "Sources: Pistons gauging trade market on Simone Fontecchio (expiring $8.3M). With Malik Beasley's gambling investigation, Kings to pursue Dennis Schroder, if DET loses Tim Hardaway Jr, & a Fontecchio trade, DET may create $24M in space to pursue Nickeil Alexander-Walker & others."
