The Detroit Pistons are expected to sign NBA free agent shooting guard Colby Jones to a two-way contract, per Shams Charania of ESPN.
Jones, 23, had a solid finish to last season with the Washington Wizards after being acquired from the Sacramento Kings in a three-team trade at the February deadline. In 15 games with Washington, he averaged 8.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 25.7 minutes per night, shooting 46.6 percent from the field.
He was then traded to the Thunder in June, but Oklahoma City quickly waived his non-guaranteed contract for 2024-25, making him an unrestricted free agent.
Jones was originally selected by Sacramento with the No. 34 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft after a standout run at Xavier. This will be his first time on a two-way deal, giving him a chance to stick with a rebuilding Pistons team still sorting out its depth on the perimeter.
Detroit already has Ron Harper Jr. and Tolu Smith signed to two-way contracts. Jones would presumably take the team’s third and final slot.
