Something had to give with the Pistons’ roster.
With the regular season approaching in a couple of days, they had 16 players under guaranteed contracts and had to trim down to 15.
To make room on the roster, the Pistons decided to waive Dzanan Musa, a league source told The Detroit News. The Pistons got Musa, a 6-foot-9 wing, last month in a trade that sent Bruce Brown to the Brooklyn Nets.
Musa played in just one of the four preseason games and his departure means that the Pistons will have to absorb his contract of $2 million.
