The Detroit Pistons have signed guard Javonte Green, the team announced Friday.
According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, it’s a one-year deal.
Green, 32, appeared in 68 total games (19 starts) last season with New Orleans and Cleveland and averaged 5.1 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 0.8 assists in 18.5 minutes per game.
The six-year veteran has appeared in 263 career games with Boston, Chicago, New Orleans, and Cleveland. He holds career averages of 5.3 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 0.7 assists while shooting 50.9% from the field in 16.8 minutes per game.
He played four seasons professionally for Peixegalego (Spain; 2015-16), Trieste (Italy; 2016-18), and ratiopharm Ulm (Germany; 2018-19) following his collegiate career at Radford University.
Green will give the Pistons a defensive-minded player who should provide the Pistons with some additional depth at the wing spot.
