NBA
Forward Kevin Huerter will be staying with the Pistons, after signing a three-year, $27 million contract. Huerter was acquired from the Bulls in a trade deadline deal, and was set to become a free agent. Contract negotiations between Detroit and Jalen Duren remain stalled, and his representatives have reportedly set up meetings with the Lakers and the Kings as the free agent signing window opens today. Duren would qualify as a restricted free agent.
Acquired at February’s trade deadline by Detroit from Chicago, Huerter would have reached the open market on Tuesday if he hadn’t agreed to terms with the Pistons before then
Forward Taurean Prince will be back with the Bucks next season, after invoking his contract option worth $3.8 million. Guard Gary Trent, Junior, will not return. He’s declining his $3.8 million option, and will become a free agent.
NFL
The Lions have officially released cornerback Terrion Arnold after his arrest on armed robbery and kidnapping charges last week. Arnold was released on $1 million bail in Florida yesterday. Prosecutors have released more details about the case, alleging that Arnold and some friends targeted two men they believed had stolen $250,000 worth of cash and possessions from them. They are accused of recruiting Arnold’s 18-year-old girlfriend and her 19-year-old roommate to lure the men to their apartment, where they were detained, beaten and pistol-whipped. Police say the two men in question turned out not to be the thieves.
