Mike Muscala Latest News
Plans to retire
Muscala told The Oklahoman on Saturday that he plans to retire this offseason, Joel Lorenzi of The Oklahoman reports. The veteran big man played for several teams in his 11-year career, during which he averaged 5.9 points, 3.1 rebounds and 0.8 assists while shooting 45.1 percent from the field. Muscala's longest stint was five years in Atlanta, where he started his career in 2013. In that five-year span, the 33-year-old averaged 5.2 points and 3.1 rebounds, and he also shot above 50.0 percent from the field in three of his five seasons there.
Joining Oklahoma City
Muscala plans to sign with the Thunder after clearing waivers Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. Muscala will join his third NBA team this season after agreeing to a contract buyout with the Pistons on Tuesday. The veteran big man last played for the Thunder in 2022-23, averaging 6.2 points and 3.1 rebounds in 14.5 minutes across 43 appearances. Muscala will likely compete for depth minutes as a backup center behind Chet Holmgren.
Parts ways with Detroit
The Pistons will finalize a contract buyout with Muscala on Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. Muscala is averaging 3.8 points and 2.8 rebounds in 13.8 minutes across his 37 appearances this season, including 13 with the Pistons. The veteran big man will likely look to join a contending team once he clears waivers.
Sits third straight
Muscala is averaging 3.5 points, 2.2 rebounds and 0.8 assists since being traded from the Wizards on Jan. 14. Muscala averaged 12.1 minutes per game in January, filling in at both center and forward with Detroit's depth in shambles. However, with the acquisition of Simone Fontecchio from the Jazz at the deadline, Muscala has been restricted to backup center minutes. The 32-year-old is expected to see another decline with Isaiah Stewart (ankle) set to make his return soon coupled with more playing time devoted to James Wiseman (averaging 16.3 minutes per game in February).
