Shake Milton News, Rumors, Updates - Los Angeles Lakers

Timberwolves trade Troy Brown Jr., Shake Milton and draft pick for Detroit's Monte Morris The deal came ahead of Thursday's NBA trade deadline, and should help the team with scoring off the bench.

Traded to Detroit Milton has been traded to the Pistons in exchange for Monte Morris, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Milton will join an extremely crowded backcourt in Detroit, where he'll fight for the reserve minutes behind Cade Cunningham with the likes of Killian Hayes, Jaden Ivey, Alec Burks and Marcus Sasser. In other words, Milton will remain a fringe fantasy option in his new location.

Enters rotation Monday Milton provided four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and one steal over 15 minutes during Monday's 128-125 loss to Charlotte.

Impact Milton played at least 15 minutes for the first time in over a month. With Mike Conley (hamstring) on the sideline, the Timberwolves opted to go with Milton for some guard depth. Despite having a somewhat fantasy-friendly game, Milton has been a non-factor across all leagues this season. Barring a number of injuries to key players, there is no reason to think his role changes any time soon.

Fails to score in three minutes Milton ended with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) in three minutes during Friday's 122-95 win over the Rockets.

Impact Milton continues to be used sparingly by the Timberwolves, having played fewer than five minutes in six consecutive games. In fact, he was out of the rotation completely for three of those six games, highlighting what a struggle it has been thus far. Based on his current role, Milton is not even worth considering in deeper formats.

Strong from deep in season-high Milton finished with 17 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 22 minutes in Friday's 127-103 win over Memphis.

Impact Milton connected on a trio of threes while ending as one of seven Timberwolves with a double-digit point total in his highest scoring total of the season. Milton has surpassed the 10-point mark in four contests this season, connecting on at least two threes in three outings.

Sees 23 minutes Saturday Milton produced six points (2-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal in 23 minutes during Saturday's 123-117 win over the Hornets.

Impact Minnesota used an eight-man rotation Saturday in the absence of Anthony Edwards (hip), allowing Milton to match his highest workload of the season. Milton's role has been pretty minimal this campaign, as Nickeil Alexander-Walker's strong play has made it hard for Milton's fantasy value to surface.

Impact Milton led all Wolves bench players in scoring and steals while matching his season-high point total in the victory at home. Milton has tallied 10 or more points in two contests this season, notching two or more steals in three outings to boost Minnesota defensively.

Impact Milton wasn't on the Timberwolves' initial injury report, but his availability is in question the morning of the game.
