Detroit Pistons Sign Forward Javonte Green to One-Year Deal

The Detroit Pistons are signing free agent Javonte Green to a one-year contract, adding a defensive-minded wing to their roster. Green, 32, has played six NBA seasons with teams including the Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls, New Orleans Pelicans, and Cleveland Cavaliers, averaging around 5 points and 3 rebounds per game. He split the 2024-25 season between the Pelicans and Cavaliers, appearing in 68 games and providing steady bench production. Known for his defensive versatility, Green is expected to complement the Pistons' existing wing rotation featuring players like Ausar Thompson and Jaden Ivey. Although the contract terms have not been disclosed, it is likely a minimum salary deal, with the Pistons currently having roster space for him. His experience and defense should help Detroit as they look to bolster their bench depth.
