The Detroit Pistons acquired center Bol Bol from the Nuggets on Sunday, sending guard Rodney McGruder and a 2022 second-round pick to Denver, multiple outlets reported.

With the trade, the Pistons are gaining size in the 7-foot-2 Bol, something that has been lacking on their roster.

Bol, 22, was the 44th overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft. He has appeared in only 53 games (two starts), averaging 2.7 points and 1.2 rebounds over 6.2 minutes per game.
