Veteran role players Nerlens Noel and Alec Burks are also trade candidates to watch closer to the deadline. Noel isn’t expected to finish the season with Detroit, HoopsHype has learned. Burks has gotten off to a torrid start since returning to the lineup and is expected to draw interest from playoff-caliber teams closer to the trade deadline.

Pistons are aggressively trapping Anthony Davis, which just got Troy Brown Jr. a wide open 3 that he hit to put LAL up 23-22.
Davis has also drawn several fouls, with four Pistons already with 2 PF’s apiece (Bagley, Hayes, Duren and Noel). – 11:04 PM

Pistons trail the Lakers 15-14 with 7:12 left in the first quarter. It’s not looking good for Detroit’s bigs. Both Bagley and Duren have two fouls within the first five minutes. Nerlens Noel just picked up his first, which is being reviewed. – 10:53 PM

More on this storyline
Mike Curtis: Alec Burks (left foot) is probable to make his #Pistons debut tomorrow night against the #Knicks. Fitting that it’ll be at Madison Square Garden. It’ll be his first time playing since New York traded him and Nerlens Noel to Detroit during the offseason. -via Twitter @MikeACurtis2 / November 10, 2022
James Edwards III: No surprise at all, but hearing that Jalen Duren, who badly rolled his ankle last night, didn’t make the trip to Milwaukee. Noel has been “break glass in case of emergency” since recovering from a summer injury. This seems like an emergency with Bagley still out. -via Twitter @JLEdwardsIII / October 31, 2022
Omari Sanfoka II: Dwane Casey on Nerlens Noel’s status: “It’s still some health things. I don’t know if he’s made it through an entire practice yet.” Said he could play some minutes if needed, but still sounds as though it’s a last resort. -via Twitter @omarisankofa / October 26, 2022
