DETROIT – The Pistons-Nuggets trade that sent Bol Bol to Detroit has been voided after a failed physical, according to reports.
ESPN reported last week that the Pistons were acquiring 7-foot-2 Bol Bol in a trade with the Denver Nuggets. Detroit was to send guard Rodney McGruder and a 2022 second-round pick via the Brooklyn Nets to Denver for Bol.

But on Thursday, ESPN reported the deal has been voided because Bol didn’t pass his physical with the Pistons.
Denver's Bol Bol trade with Detroit has been voided, sources tell ESPN. The Pistons didn't pass Bol on his physical with team.
Bol, 22, was once considered a top-10 draft prospect, but fell to the second round in 2019. He would have gotten a bigger opportunity with Detroit, which has been lacking depth in the front court after injuries to Kelly Olynyk and Jerami Grant.
Bol is the son of the late Manute Bol, a well-known 7-foot-7 player who played for a decade in the NBA.
