After learning that the Pistons voided the Bol Bol deal, Motiejunas spoke out about the situation. “I was failed on physicals and told by Detroit doctors I will not play basketball again. Six years later, I am still here and have many years to go,” Motiejunas tweeted. “They [are] destroying young players’ names and futures in [the] NBA by doing this…”

From @Michael Singer on the Bol Bol rescinded trade: “Adding to the awkwardness, the Nuggets gave James Ennis, who appeared in Tuesday’s loss, (Bol’s) No. 10 jersey after he signed a 10-day contract with the team earlier this week.” – 1:55 PM

Would be shocked if Bol Bol returned to the Nuggets. The bridge is already broken, and it’s appeared closer to a hostage situation that a healthy relationship for about a year. Probably time to just send him away and figure out a new solution before the February 10th deadline. – 12:23 PM

Bol Bol originally fell to the middle of the second round partly due to physical concerns. Apparently they haven’t gone away. – 12:04 PM

I believe the Detroit Pistons have been involved in three of the last five voided trades in the NBA:
-Bol Bol this season
-Donatas Motiejunas in 2016
-Sean Elliott in 1994
The other two:
-Tyson Chandler (CHA to OKC) in 2009
-Shareef Abdur-Rahim (POR to NJN) in 2005 – 12:03 PM

More on this storyline
Motiejunas has spent the last few years playing overseas, and he pointed out that his value took a hit after the Pistons’ doctors determined that he failed his physical. “No one looked at me the same after that situation,” he tweeted. “How many times [will] the NBPA let this happen? They are destroying young players’ careers… When stuff like that happens, you [can’t] stay quiet.” -via basketballnews.com / January 13, 2022
