Sticks in rotation Saturday Reed contributed two points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists across 11 minutes during Saturday's 109-103 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Reed remained in the rotation, playing as the primary backup behind Isaiah Stewart after Jalen Duren was a late scratch due to a leg issue. While Reed has now logged double-digit minutes in four straight games, his production has been largely underwhelming. During that time, he has averaged just 3.8 points and 4.0 rebounds in 12.9 minutes per contest.

Rare appearance in win Reed closed with zero points (0-1 FG) and two rebounds over two minutes during Tuesday's 123-103 victory over the Wizards.

Impact Reed left the bench for the first time in the past four games, continuing his disappointing season. Despite his per-minute abilities, Reed is firmly placed behind both Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart as the third-string center. Given he has played a grand total of just 38 minutes over the past nine games, there is no reason to think he will be challenging either player for their spot in the rotation.

Muted role continues Reed racked up two points (2-2 FT) and two rebounds across four minutes during Saturday's 115-94 victory over the Nets.

Impact Reed continues to play very limited minutes off the bench, having played fewer than 10 minutes in 11 of the past 14 games, failing to touch the floor in five of those. With Jalen Duren playing the best basketball of his young career, Reed is simply an emergency option, if and when Isaiah Stewart is struggling as the backup center.

Balanced outing in limited time Reed posted seven points (3-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across eight minutes during Wednesday's 118-115 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Reed played in a team-low minute total Wednesday, but made the most of his time on the floor by finishing as one of two Pistons bench players with at least five points and five rebounds. Reed has hauled in six or more boards in four contests, adding at least seven points in three of those outings.

Barely visible in loss Reed recorded no counting stats in one minute during Saturday's 121-113 loss to Orlando.

Impact Reed was a non-factor in the loss, playing fewer than 10 minutes for the sixth straight game. With both Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart healthy, Reed's role has evaporated in recent times. He is no longer an every-night part of the rotation, something that will only change should those ahead of him be forced to miss time.

Back with Detroit The Pistons signed Reed to a veteran minimum contract Monday, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Reed was waived by the Pistons on Saturday, but he's opted to return to Detroit after clearing waivers. He's seen inconsistent playing time off the Pistons' bench, and across 12 outings he's averaged 4.8 points and 1.9 rebounds over 10.3 minutes per game.

Parting ways with Detroit The Pistons are waiving Reed on Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Reed has been an inconsistent part of Detroit's rotation but is averaging 4.8 points and 1.9 rebounds in 10.3 minutes across 12 appearances this season. Reed will now be an unrestricted free agent as the Pistons were looking to add roster and salary flexibility.

Plays 15 minutes in blowout loss Reed closed with four points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three assists, two steals and one block in 15 minutes during Thursday's 123-99 loss to the Celtics.

Impact With Jalen Duren (wrist) sidelined, Isaiah Stewart picked up the start while Reed slid into the rotation. The 25-year-old tied his season-high mark in minutes Thursday, though he shouldn't see much playing time when Duren returns. Reed has averaged 4.8 points and 1.9 rebounds across 10.3 minutes per game in 12 regular-season appearances.

Increased role Wednesday Reed amassed 13 points (6-6 FG, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one block and two steals in 12 minutes during Wednesday's 108-107 loss to the Hornets.

Impact Reed logged a season-high 12 minutes, sliding up in the rotation after Jalen Duren was forced from the game due to an ankle injury. While Duren attempted to play through the issue, he was eventually removed and could certainly be at risk of missing time. Should we get word that Duren will be sidelined for any length of time, Reed could be someone to consider for streaming purposes. Isaiah Stewart would likely move into the starting lineup but as we know, he is somewhat undersized, meaning Reed could log meaningful minutes.

Sees playing time in blowout loss Reed logged five points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over seven minutes during Friday's 128-98 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Reed has only played in two of Detroit's six outings so far in 2024-25. However, with Friday's game being a blowout, the 25-year-old big man was able to log seven minutes of action. Still, unless there are significant injuries ahead of him in the depth chart, Reed is unlikely to garner significant fantasy interest.

Grabs nine boards vs. Cleveland Reed supplied six points (3-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, two assists and two steals over 18 minutes in Wednesday's 108-92 preseason win over the Cavaliers.

Impact Reed managed to lead both teams in rebounding Wednesday as the Pistons' reserves saw extended playing time in the preseason finale. After being let go by the 76ers in early July, Reed was claimed off waivers by the Pistons to add some depth to the front court. However, he will likely begin the 2024-25 regular season as the third-string center behind starter Jalen Duren and backup Isaiah Stewart.

Heading to Motor City The Pistons claimed Reed off waivers Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Reed is on the second year of a three-year, $24 million deal, and he will now join former 76ers teammate, Tobias Harris, in Detroit's frontcourt. The 25-year-old will likely compete for minutes with Isaiah Stewart off the bench behind Jalen Duren. Reed was waived by the 76ers on July 6, and he averaged 7.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 blocks across 19.4 minutes in 82 regular-season games with the club last year.
