In the deal, Detroit has traded away the draft rights of Balsa Koprivica to the Los Angeles Clippers in exchange for cash considerations.

According to Omari Sankofa II of The Detroit Free Press, the Clippers have sent a sum of $2.1 million to the Pistons in exchange for Koprivica's draft rights.

Koprivica was selected with the 57th overall pick by the Charlotte Hornets in the 2021 NBA Draft and shortly traded to the Pistons.

The 23-year-old Serbian center has been representing Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade for the past two seasons after his college career at Florida State.

He averaged 1.0 points and 1.3 rebounds in only six EuroLeague games (four minutes) this past season. Koprivica missed a significant part of the 2022-23 season due to a hand fracture and mononucleosis.
