The Houston Rockets thought they had traded forward Donatas Motiejunas to the Detroit Pistons, but Detroit voided the deal Feb. 22 because of concerns over the Lithuanian’s back. Now, the NBA Players Association is reportedly getting involved.
Citing league sources, Marc J. Spears of Yahoo Sports reported that the NBPA “is strongly considering filing a grievance with the NBA” following Detroit’s decision to void the deal. “Sources close to Motiejunas believe the voided trade could damage his status as a restricted free agent next offseason,” Spears added.
