Detroit — When Dennis Schröder left Little Caesars Arena on May 1, there was a sense that the veteran point guard would return as a member of the Detroit Pistons. He had just played 30 minutes in an elimination game against the New York Knicks, where he finished with nine points, nine assists and a steal.

The Sacramento Kings have struggled to find a suitable replacement at the point guard position following the De’Aaron Fox trade. New General Manager Scott Perry believes veteran guard Dennis Schröder will fill the hole in the roster.
