Nuggets’ Bol Bol trade with Detroit is off due to physical, source says

Three days after the Nuggets agreed to trade Bol Bol to Detroit, the deal is off, a league source told The Denver Post.

The Pistons had an issue with Bol’s physical and reneged on the trade, which would’ve sent Rodney McGruder and a late second-round pick to Denver.

The Nuggets announced the trade in a release on Monday.

Bol had foot surgery during his lone season at Oregon, but hasn’t had injury trouble since joining the Nuggets in 2019.

The deal, which would’ve added a veteran wing to the Nuggets’ rotation in McGruder, instead sends Bol back to Denver, where he’d struggled to find any consistent playing time.
