DETROIT — Duncan Robinson, the leading 3-point shooter in Miami Heat history, is headed back to Michigan for the next step of his career, according to report out Wednesday.

A person with knowledge of the agreement said the Detroit Pistons will land Robinson on a three-year, $48 million contract and the Heat will receive wing Simone Fontecchio in what will be a sign-and-trade.

Robinson started his college career at Division III’s Williams in Massachusetts, before finishing at Michigan. He was an undrafted success story with the Heat, part of the 2020 and 2023 teams that went to the NBA Finals.

Schröder to Kings

Veteran point guard and German Olympic teamer Dennis Schröder has agreed to join the Sacramento Kings on a three-year deal, the third of which is not fully guaranteed, a person with knowledge of that agreement said Tuesday. ESPN reported the total value of the deal is $45 million.

Schröder, who is entering his 13th NBA season, is joining his 10th club — and ninth in the last seven years. He spent the first five seasons of his career with Atlanta, then was with Oklahoma City, the Los Angeles Lakers (twice), Boston, Houston, Toronto, Brooklyn, Golden State and Detroit at various times over the past seven seasons.

He has averaged 13.9 points and 4.9 assists in 849 regular-season games.

Hardaway joining Nuggets

Sharpshooting wing Tim Hardaway Jr. will be signing a one-year contract with the Denver Nuggets, a person familiar with the player’s plans said Tuesday.

Hardaway spent last season with Detroit — he averaged 11 points in 77 games as a starter for the Pistons — and Denver becomes his fifth club. He also has been with Dallas, New York and Atlanta.

LeVert coming to Detroit

Guard Caris LeVert will sign a two-year deal worth nearly $15 million annually with the Detroit Pistons, a team that won 14 games in 2023-24 and then won 44 games to earn the No. 6 seed in the Eastern Conference this past season, according to a Tuesday report.

Starting at $3.23/week.
