According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the Wizards acquired forward
Isaiah Livers,
Marvin Bagley III, and two second-round picks from the Pistons in exchange for
Danilo Gallinari and
Mike Muscala. Livers entered the 2023-24 campaign coming off the best year of his career, averaging 8.5 points and 3.1 boards in 22 starts in Detroit last season. Unfortunately, he tweaked his ankle during training camp and missed nearly a month to begin the year. Without question, the 2021 No. 2 overall pick has more potential than what he's demonstrated with the Pistons. However, until he finds routine playing time in Washington, he's not worth adding in most fantasy formats.

Isaiah Livers (ankle) is prepared to make his season debut on Monday night against the Denver Nuggets after being upgraded from questionable to available. It's unclear how he'll fit into the rotation just yet since he hasn't played in the regular season, but since the team is missing three players that normally are in the rotation, he may get some minutes. Livers averaged 6.7 points and 2.8 rebounds last year so he likely won't be fantasy relevant except for very deep leagues.

Isaiah Livers suffered a Grade 3 left-ankle sprain while going through some workouts before training camp. He's now expected to miss six to eight weeks, which would have him returning to the court around mid-to-late November. The 25-year-old has slowly fallen down the depth chart, and this injury stint will likely work against him. He's not on the fantasy radar right now unless the team decides to move him up to backup small or power forward.
Ausar Thompson,
Joe Harris,
Bojan Bogdanovic, and
Isaiah Stewart are all ahead of him at this moment.

Detroit Pistons forward
Isaiah Livers (hip) won't play on Sunday versus Miami.
Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) also remains out, so
Rodney McGruder should slide back into the three spot. McGruder has averaged 10.1 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 46.2% shooting from deep in 10 starts this season, giving him plenty of appeal in all fantasy setups.
