Chris Smith: Expected to be released

Smith (knee) will be released by the Pistons on Sunday, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Smith made 18 appearances (nine starts) with the G League's Motor City Cruise, but he failed to make his NBA debut during his rookie campaign before sustaining a second ACL injury over the past three years. In a corresponding move, Detroit signed Carsen Edwards to a two-year contract and Braxton Key to a rest-of-season deal.
