The Detroit Pistons announced forward Simone Fontecchio underwent successful surgery on the left big toe that forced him to miss the final 15 games of the season. Fontecchio excelled in a featured offensive role after a trade from Utah to Detroit at the trade deadline. The pending restricted free agent averaged 15.4 points and shot nearly 54% on twos and 42% on threes while displaying easy chemistry with Cade Cunningham.
Fontecchio, a pending restricted free agent, is expected to sign a new, long-term deal with the Pistons this offseason.
