David Nwaba News, Rumors, Updates - Detroit Pistons

Pistons waive him The Pistons waived Nwaba on Saturday, according to the NBA Transactions Log page.

Impact Nwaba was under contract with the Pistons for less than 24 hours, as he was waived shortly after his signature, and this move means he'll likely spend the 2023-24 season playing for Detroit's G League affiliate, the Motor City Cruise. Nwaba spent last season in the G League but has several years of NBA experience under his belt, registering stints with the Lakers, Bulls, Cavaliers, Nets and Rockets in the past.

Let go by OKC Nwaba will be waived by the Thunder on Saturday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Nwaba is being waived to make room for Isaiah Joe on the Thunder's roster. The 29-year-old forward was traded to OKC from Houston in late September. Last season, the journeyman played 46 games for the Rockets and averaged 5.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 0.6 steals in 13.2 minutes. Nwaba will look to join his seventh team in seven seasons.

Impact In a last-minute trade before the preseason starts, Nwaba is apparently heading to Oklahoma City, where he'll try to earn a roster spot on a young squad. The forward appeared in 46 games last year with Houston and averaged 5.1 points and 3.3 rebounds and shot 48.3 percent overall from the field.

Pops for 15 points in loss Nwaba registered 15 points (5-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-6 FT), one rebound, one assist, one block and one steal over 14 minutes during Sunday's 130-105 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact Nwaba scored a season-high 15 points in the loss, highlighting just what a struggle it has been for him this season. In fact, he has scored in double-digits just six times, struggling to carve out a regular spot in the rotation. While the Rockets are likely to change up their rotation moving forward, it is unlikely they view Nwaba as a crucial piece of their future. Based on that fact, he is not a name to be monitoring outside of the deepest formats.
