18 Cory Joseph SG

Joseph was waived by the Pistons on Saturday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Joseph was dealt from the Kings to the Pistons in March and averaged a quality 12.0 points, 5.5 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 26.4 minutes for Detroit. However, with Killian Hayes and Cade Cunningham now making up the backcourt of the rebuilding team, the organization doesn't have much use for the veteran guard. In free agency, Joseph will likely get offers to be a backup point guard.

The Pistons don't want to risk winning any games this week, so it would be a surprise if Joseph -- along with most of the team's other regulars -- ends up playing in any of the final three games. The veteran point guard has appeared in only six of the Pistons' last 14 contests.
