Overview
- The team announced Monday evening that Wendell Moore Jr. has signed a two-way contract and that waivers were requested on Colby Jones to clear the spot.
- The move followed an earlier report from Michael Scotto of HoopsHype that Detroit planned to add Moore on a two-way.
- Moore played 20 games for the Pistons last season before being waived on Feb. 6, then signed a Hornets two-way and later joined the Celtics’ training camp before heading to the Maine Celtics in the G League.
- A 2022 first-round pick, Moore has appeared in 90 NBA games with modest production, averaging 2.3 points in 8.1 minutes per game.
- Two-way contracts allow teams to balance NBA depth with G League development, and Jones had logged only seven regular-season minutes for Detroit after signing his two-way in July.
