Newcastle native and NBA player Duncan Robinson is in the Granite State this weekend to put on a charity basketball event in honor of his brother, Eli. Eli Robinson died in April 2025 after losing his battle with schizophrenia, addiction, and mental illness.
"We're just really honored to put on this event in honor of our brother, Eli Robinson. You know, he obviously would have loved to have been here, but I know this is making him proud for sure," Duncan Robinson said. The Robinson family has been an active advocate for mental health awareness and suicide prevention. "It's OK to not be OK," Robinson said. "It's OK to be going through something. I think the most important thing you can do is lean into a community. And that's what we're really trying to foster here today."
Chris Haynes: Contrary to speculation, the Detroit Pistons will not be waiving marksman Duncan Robinson, league sources tell me.
Yossi Gozlan: The Pistons cap situation is fluid. They could have $20.6 million in cap space while retaining Jalen Duren's $19.4 million cap hold. They can get to $33 million if they waive Duncan Robinson ($2 million guaranteed). They could pursue an upgrade in free agency or trade with it.
Elsewhere, within league circles, there was palpable chatter about the Pistons hoping to get involved in the Antetokounmpo trade to land Tyler Herro, while dangling assets such as Isaiah Stewart, Ron Holland, Duncan Robinson, and draft compensation, league sources told HoopsHype. In addition, the Los Angeles Lakers were linked with trade interest in Kel’el Ware over the past couple of days, sources said.

The Free Press has confirmed with multiple people within the league not permitted to speak publicly that the Pistons have been involved in discussions regarding Tyler Herro. And though it remains to be seen if the deal will get across the finish line, three of their key role players – Isaiah Stewart, Duncan Robinson and Ron Holland – are candidates to be moved in such a trade.
As the adage goes, it takes money to make money. The Pistons' assets include all of their first-round picks, including No. 21 in Tuesday's draft, a trove of second-round picks and several good players on contracts that can be easily moved.
Detroit executive Trajan Langdon publicly expressed his desire to retain forward Tobias Harris, who was the team’s second-leading scorer in the playoffs. The Pistons will also work with Jalen Duren on a new deal amid his restricted free agency. In addition, a Reaves pursuit would require more acrobatics than Simone Biles in the Olympics. Detroit would have to pick up the $4 million team option on Daniss Jenkins, renounce cap holds on Harris, Kevin Huerter, and Malik Beasley, waive Duncan Robinson, likely trade Caris LeVert and one of Paul Reed or Marcus Sasser, and decline Tolu Smith’s $2.4 million team option to be able to offer Reaves a max contract, as outlined by salary cap expert Yossi Gozlan.

Omari Sankofa II: Robinson: "I don't want to be over-reactionary having not watched it ... we didn't come out with the right disposition for a Game 7 and that was apparent in all the areas we prided ourselves on this year, areas we thought we could compete with and win, we didn't win those."
Coty M. Davis: Duncan Robinson, Kevin Huerter and Caris LeVert were at shootaround this morning. They are all questionable for Game 7 tonight vs. the Cavs. #Pistons
