Feron Hunt - Inks pact with Detroit Hunt agreed to a training camp contract with the Pistons on Tuesday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Impact Hunt will join the Pistons ahead of the regular season, though it's more likely he'll join the club's G League affiliate, the Motor City Cruise, in the 2025-26 campaign. The 26-year-old forward appeared in 48 G League outings with the Cleveland Charge last season, averaging 15.9 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.1 blocks and 1.0 steals across 30.1 minutes per game.

Jalen Duren - Day-to-day with tight hamstring Duren remains day-to-day with hamstring tightness, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact The Pistons will likely continue to exercise caution with their top center, and there's no indication that Duren is in any real danger of missing Opening Night in late October. It's possible Duren won't play Thursday in Milwaukee, meaning Isaiah Stewart is potentially in line for another spot start. Paul Reed and two-way player Tolu Smith may also be needed to handle more playing time.

Paul Reed - Pulls down 12 boards Reed produced five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 18 minutes of Monday's 128-112 preseason win over Memphis.
Impact Jalen Duren (hamstring) sat this contest out, but he's considered day-to-day. Isaiah Stewart got the starting nod, but Reed saw the bulk of the center minutes off the bench and made a huge impact on this game, leading all players in rebounds. Reed knows how to fill a box score, but when Duren is healthy, Reed projects to be the third-string center.

Tolu Smith - Double-doubles in preseason Smith produced 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-7 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one block in 12 minutes of Monday's 128-112 preseason win over Memphis.
Impact Jalen Duren was out with hamstring soreness, allowing Smith to absorb some backup center minutes behind Isaiah Stewart. Smith, who is on a two-way contract, is expected to spend a lot of time in the G League this season. To his credit, he certainly showed the coaching staff that he'll be ready if his name is called upon this season.
