Detroit GM Troy Weaver and Drew Gross (player’s agent) successfully completed the deal at the summer league in Vegas. This is the franchise’s 1^st rookie extension since owner Tom Gores bought the organization in 2021 and the 1^st for Pistons since Jason Maxiell in 2008.

Isaiah (22) is a crucial part of the organization’s rebuild. The forward notched more than 11 points and had over 8 boards per match, beginning from the 1^st minute on the court in 47 of 50 clashes before having a campaign-ending shoulder injury in March. The center had a career-high thirteen doubles-doubles in the past campaign.

Detroit re-inked Andre Drummond on a 5-year, 127 million dollar contract in 2016, but the center was a restricted free agent, not a rookie extension.
