Pistons Trade Jodie Meeks to Orlando for Second Round Pick

The Detroit Pistons sent shooting guard Jodie Meeks to the Orlando Magic for a conditional second round draft pick Wednesday.

Meeks was limited to just three games last season due to a broken foot.

Detroit signed the 28-year-old in 2014 via free agency.

From the press release:

In 63 games with Detroit, he averaged 10.9 points, 1.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 23.9 minutes. Last season, Meeks suffered a fracture of the fifth metatarsal in his right foot during the second game of the season and only appeared in three games, averaging 7.3 points and 1.7 rebounds in 14.3 minutes.

 

The 6-4 guard averaged 11.1 points, 1.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 24.4 minutes in 60 games during the 2014-15 season, but missed the first 22 games after suffering a stress reaction in his lower back during the preseason.

 

The seven-year veteran has played for Milwaukee, Philadelphia, L.A. Lakers and Detroit and holds career averages of 9.9 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 24.3 minutes in 418 games.
