At some point this season, the Detroit Pistons are likely to convert Daniss Jenkins to a full-time contract, but it doesn’t have to happen right away.
This seems like a no-brainer move, as Jenkins has been important for the Pistons, especially with their recent rash of injuries.
The move was complicated somewhat by the baffling decision not to cut Isaac Jones, as the Pistons don’t currently have a roster spot for Jenkins to slot into.
Jenkins must be converted before he plays 50 games for the Pistons, otherwise, he won’t be eligible to appear in the playoffs, but the Pistons have good reason not to make this move until after the trade deadline.
