Guard Daniss Jenkins has re-signed with the Pistons on a two-way contract, according to the official transactions log at NBA.com.
The news was first reported by Keith Smith of Spotrac (Twitter link).
Detroit made Jenkins a restricted free agent at the end of June when it tendered him a two-way qualifying offer, which is equivalent to a one-year, two-way deal, with a small portion (approximately $85K) guaranteed. Jenkins may simply have accepted the QO.
The 6’3″ guard enjoyed a well-traveled run through college, playing for the Pacific Tigers, the Iona Gaels and the St. John’s Red Storm. He signed a two-way contract with the Pistons last summer after going undrafted.
While Jenkins’ NBA contributions during his rookie season were very limited, playing just 23 minutes across seven appearances, he was a standout performer for the Pistons’ G League affiliate, the Motor City Cruise.
