The Pistons re-signed Reed to a one-year contract Monday, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports. Detroit waived Reed on Saturday, after he had appeared in 12 of the club's first 26 games while averaging 4.8 points and 1.9 rebounds over 10.3 minutes per game. He was in the midst of the second season of a three-year, $25.56 million deal, but the Pistons were unwilling to keep him on board with his current contract since he would have been fully guaranteed $7.7 million in salary for 2025-26 had he remained on the roster through January. After Reed cleared waivers, the Pistons elected to bring him back at a more palatable salary figure for a third-string center. He'll become an unrestricted free agent at season's end.

Paul Reed Latest News
Back with Detroit
The Pistons re-signed Reed to a one-year contract Monday, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports. Detroit waived Reed on Saturday, after he had appeared in 12 of the club's first 26 games while averaging 4.8 points and 1.9 rebounds over 10.3 minutes per game. He was in the midst of the second season of a three-year, $25.56 million deal, but the Pistons were unwilling to keep him on board with his current contract since he would have been fully guaranteed $7.7 million in salary for 2025-26 had he remained on the roster through January. After Reed cleared waivers, the Pistons elected to bring him back at a more palatable salary figure for a third-string center. He'll become an unrestricted free agent at season's end.
Parting ways with Detroit
The Pistons are waiving Reed on Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Reed has been an inconsistent part of Detroit's rotation but is averaging 4.8 points and 1.9 rebounds in 10.3 minutes across 12 appearances this season. Reed will now be an unrestricted free agent as the Pistons were looking to add roster and salary flexibility.
Plays 15 minutes in blowout loss
Reed closed with four points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three assists, two steals and one block in 15 minutes during Thursday's 123-99 loss to the Celtics. With Jalen Duren (wrist) sidelined, the 25-year-old worked his way into the rotation behind Isaiah Stewart. Reed tied his season-high mark in minutes Thursday, though he shouldn't see much playing time when Duren returns. Reed has averaged 4.8 points and 1.9 rebounds across 10.3 minutes per game in 12 regular-season appearances.
Increased role Wednesday
Reed amassed 13 points (6-6 FG, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one block and two steals in 12 minutes during Wednesday's 108-107 loss to the Hornets. Reed logged a season-high 12 minutes, sliding up in the rotation after Jalen Duren was forced from the game due to an ankle injury. While Duren attempted to play through the issue, he was eventually removed and could certainly be at risk of missing time. Should we get word that Duren will be sidelined for any length of time, Reed could be someone to consider for streaming purposes. Isaiah Stewart would likely move into the starting lineup but is somewhat undersized, so Reed could log meaningful minutes.
Sees playing time in blowout loss
Reed logged five points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over seven minutes during Friday's 128-98 loss to the Knicks. Reed has only played in two of Detroit's six outings so far in 2024-25. However, with Friday's game being a blowout, the 25-year-old big man was able to log seven minutes of action. Still, unless there are significant injuries ahead of him in the depth chart, Reed is unlikely to garner significant fantasy interest.
Grabs nine boards vs. Cleveland
Reed supplied six points (3-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, two assists and two steals over 18 minutes in Wednesday's 108-92 preseason win over the Cavaliers. Reed managed to lead both teams in rebounding Wednesday as the Pistons' reserves saw extended playing time in the preseason finale. After being let go by the 76ers in early July, Reed was claimed off waivers by the Pistons to add some depth to the front court. However, he will likely begin the 2024-25 regular season as the third-string center behind starter Jalen Duren and backup Isaiah Stewart.
Heading to Motor City
The Pistons claimed Reed off waivers Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. Reed is on the second year of a three-year, $24 million deal, and he will now join former 76ers teammate, Tobias Harris, in Detroit's frontcourt. Reed will likely compete for minutes with Isaiah Stewart off the bench behind Jalen Duren. After averaging 7.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 blocks across 19.4 minutes in 82 regular-season games with the club last year, Reed was waived by the 76ers on July 6.
Being released by Philly
The 76ers plan to waive Reed on Saturday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. Reed is currently on a non-guaranteed contract, and Philadelphia plans to waive the big man to open up more cap space. The 25-year-old had a career-best year due to Joel Embiid missing significant time, during which Reed averaged 7.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 blocks across 19.4 minutes in 82 regular-season games.
Returns to bench Tuesday
Reed is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pistons, Austin Krell of USA Today reports. No real surprises here, as Reed will move back to the bench with the return of Joel Embiid (knee) to the starting unit. Reed has averaged 7.5 points and 6.1 rebounds per game over his last 10 appearances off the bench.
