Paul Reed News, Rumors, Updates - Detroit Pistons

Out for personal reasons Reed is out for Thursday's game against the Suns for personal reasons.

Impact Reed is away from the team for at least one contest Thursday. With Jalen Duren (ankle) and Isaiah Stewart (illness) both expected to play, Reed wasn't likely to be part of the Detroit rotation in a meaningful way against Phoenix.

Seven defensive counters Reed provided eight points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-6 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and five steals across 22 minutes during Saturday's 98-92 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Despite being limited by early foul trouble, Reed went to work, particularly on the defensive end, where he racked up seven combined steals and blocks. The offensive output continues to be underwhelming despite his current role, although managers should be more than happy with his peripheral contributions. Until Jalen Duren (ankle) is cleared to return, Reed should be rostered in all formats.

Solid line in win Reed closed with nine points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), six rebounds, six assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 108-93 victory over the Bulls.

Impact Jalen Duren (ankle) remains out for Detroit, though he's due to be re-evaluated prior to their next game Saturday. Reed has fared well in his last three starts with 8.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 0.7 steals in 27.3 minutes per contest.

Starting Sunday Reed is in the Pistons' starting lineup against the Cavaliers on Sunday.

Impact Reed will make his third start of the season Sunday due to the absence of Jalen Duren (ankle). In his last start against the 76ers on Nov. 14, Reed finished with 10 points, eight rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals over 25 minutes.

Garbage time special Reed notched one block in two minutes during Saturday's 112-86 win over the Hornets.

Impact Reed was in the rotation for the fourth time in the past five games, albeit during garbage time only. With Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart carrying the center load, Reed is merely a depth option at this point, called upon when others are injured. In 21 appearances, he has averaged just 6.1 points and 4.1 rebounds in 10.9 minutes per game.

Grabs 10 boards in win Reed logged six points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists in 15 minutes during Saturday's 124-112 victory over Milwaukee.

Impact Reed had double-digit rebounds for just the third time this season, playing a handful of extra minutes as a result of an ankle injury to Tobias Harris. With Isaiah Stewart moving into the starting lineup alongside Jalen Duren, Reed was called upon to play the majority of the backup center minutes. Given he had been out of the rotation in two of the previous three games, there is no reason to overreact to this performance.

Retreating to bench Monday Reed won't start Monday's game against the Pacers.

Impact With Jalen Duren (ankle) returning from a two-game absence, Reed will slide to the second unit. Over his last five appearances off the bench, the 26-year-old center has averaged 4.0 points and 4.2 rebounds in 10.2 minutes per contest.

Monster game as starter Reed generated 28 points (11-13 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 13 rebounds, six assists, four steals and one block across 31 minutes of Wednesday's 124-113 win over the Bulls.

Impact Reed hadn't exceeded 19 minutes in a game before Wednesday night. However, the absences of Jalen Duren (ankle) and Isaiah Stewart (ankle) opened up the opportunity for Reed to draw the start, and he capitalized. The 26-year-old center paced the Pistons in points and rebounds while tallying the second most assists on the team. While it's uncertain if Duren and Stewart will continue to miss time, fantasy managers should keep a keen eye on the Pistons' frontcourt situation, as Reed boasts significant streaming value when given 20 or more minutes.

Starting vs. Chicago Reed will start Wednesday's matchup against the Bulls.

Impact With Jalen Duren (ankle) and Isaiah Stewart (ankle) both sidelined, Reed will get the starting nod for the first time this season. Over his last five appearances, the big man has averaged 4.0 points and 4.2 rebounds while shooting 71.4 percent from the field in 10.2 minutes per contest.

Flirts with double-double in win Reed accumulated eight points (4-5 FG, 0-2 FT), nine rebounds, one block and one steal over 13 minutes during Monday's 137-135 overtime win over the Wizards.

Impact Reed stepped in for Isaiah Stewart (ankle) and performed well in his place, logging a second consecutive game with a block and at least five rebounds. If Stewart can't go Wednesday against Chicago, Reed will continue to back up Jalen Duren.

NOVEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Tacks two steals in win Reed ended with zero points (0-1 FG), one rebound and two steals in five minutes during Monday's 114-106 victory over the Grizzlies.

Impact Reed does not appear to have a consistent role, as he is currently third in the depth chart at center behind Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart. Even with Tobias Harris (ankle) being ruled out Monday, which led to Stewart sliding into the starting lineup, Reed only played five minutes, which may be an indicator that he will not be among the rotation with a fully healthy Detroit roster.

Increased role Friday Reed had 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 19 minutes during Friday's 115-111 win over Houston.

Impact Reed saw meaningful minutes Friday, filling the void after Jalen Duren was ejected. In what was somewhat of a surprise, it was Reed who got the nod over Isaiah Stewart, falling one rebound short of a double-double. Despite his per-minute upside, Reed is unlikely to feature on a nightly basis, although he is worth keeping an eye on, just in case Duren is suspended.
