Smith signed a two-way contract with the Detroit Pistons on Sunday, Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports reports. Smith was a valuable commodity for Detroit's G League team, which has received averages of 17.7 points, 11.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.3 blocks from him through nine games this year. Obviously, the 24-year-old is not expected to replicate all that output at the NBA level, but he provides a recently rising big man providing center depth for Detroit.

Smith signed a two-way contract with the Detroit Pistons on Sunday, Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports reports. Smith was a valuable commodity for Detroit's G League team, which has received averages of 17.7 points, 11.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.3 blocks from him through nine games this year. Obviously, the 24-year-old is not expected to replicate all that output at the NBA level, but he provides a recently rising big man providing center depth for Detroit.
Smith was waived by the Pistons on Thursday. Smith was brought in during training camp on an Exhibit 10 contract, so he wasn't expected to make the opening-night roster. He'll likely start the 2024-25 campaign with the Motor City Cruise.
