The Detroit Pistons are making moves! In a surprising turn of events, they've brought back a familiar face, signing Isaac Jones to a two-way contract.
But wait, didn't they just let him go? Indeed, the Pistons waived Jones less than a week ago, but it seems they've had a change of heart. This move comes after a series of roster adjustments, including the recent acquisition of Kevin Huerter and Dario Saric from the Chicago Bulls, followed by Saric's subsequent waiver.
Jones, a 6'9" forward, had a brief stint with the Pistons earlier this season, but only played two minutes in one game. He's been showcasing his skills in the G League with the Motor City Cruise, where he's been putting up impressive numbers: 15.9 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks per game. And this is the part most fans might have missed—he was once an undrafted free agent who earned his way onto the Sacramento Kings' roster in the 2024/25 season.
The two-year deal, as reported by HoopsHype's Michael Scotto, offers Jones another shot at the NBA. But here's where it gets controversial—the Pistons have a history of making quick roster changes, and Jones has already been waived twice by the team. Will this be a long-term partnership, or just another short-lived stint? Only time will tell.
