UPDATE : Three days following the announcement of the trade of bol bol to Detroit from Denver, Mike Singer of the Denver Post has just announced some upsetting news for all parties. The interior of the Nuggets encountered a problem during the medical examination and physical tests with the staff of the Pistons.
As a result, Detroit requested and obtained the cancellation of the trade with the Nuggets, which involved the arrival of Rodney McGruder and a second round draft in Denver. Bol Bol hadn’t had any major physical issues since joining the NBA but only had a brief NCAA career with Oregon due to injuries.

10/01 : The experience bol bol has so far not borne fruit. Not in Denver, anyway. The Nuggets have just completed the trade of the young interior, son of Manute, in the direction of the Detroit Pistons, announces Adrian Wojnarowski d’ESPN.
Since Denver picked him up at the end of the 2019 Draft (he had been taken in 44th position by Miami), we have only been able to see Bol’s talent sporadically, with 53 appearances in all and for all, with 6 short minutes of playing time on average.
In Detroit, perhaps he will have the opportunity to show his ultra-stretch game and his qualities a little more frequently. In this exchange, Detroit sends Rodney McGruder and a 2nd round of Draft 2022 in Denver. Both McGruder and Bol were on contracts expiring shortly.
For Denver, this move is also synonymous with the end of the contract for the Frenchman Petr Cornelie and passing under the luxury tax.
