The Detroit Pistons are signing two-way guard Daniss Jenkins to a new two-year contract, according to Shams Charania of ESPN. The agreement officially moves Jenkins from his previous two-way status to a standard roster spot with the franchise.
According to the report, the contract includes a team option for the 2026-27 season. Jenkins' agent, Derek Jackson of UNLTD Sports Group, worked with the Pistons front office to negotiate the deal using a portion of the team's bi-annual exception. This strategic use of the exception allows Detroit to retain the guard while managing their salary cap constraints.
Jenkins has impressed the organization during his time on a two-way deal, leading to this multi-year commitment. The Pistons continue to focus on developing their young backcourt talent as they solidify their roster for the remainder of the season and beyond.
