The Detroit Pistons are signing two-way guard Daniss Jenkins to a two-year contract, with a team option for 2026-27, sources told ESPN.
The Pistons and Jenkins’ agent, Derek Jackson of UNLTD Sports Group, negotiated the new deal using part of the team’s bi-annual exception.
Jenkins has been a revelation for the East’s No. 1 seed Pistons, playing nearly 17 minutes per game with seven starts after rarely seeing the court last season. A strong perimeter defender, Jenkins is up to 39% from distance this season to go along with 3.3 assists.
Jenkins, 24, went undrafted out of St. John’s in 2024 before signing a two-way deal with the Pistons.
