According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Pistons are waiving forward
Paul Reed. The 2020 No. 58 overall pick began his career by spending four years in Philadelphia, where he had some productive showings. But after the Sixers waived him, he was claimed by the Pistons. Unfortunately, things didn't work out in Detroit, with Reed averaging only 4.8 points in 12 games. He'll likely draw plenty of interest from clubs around the National Basketball Association, especially from teams looking to bolster depth. But regardless of where Reed lands next, he'll need minutes before earning a place on fantasy rosters.

On Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reported that the Detroit Pistons claimed center
Paul Reed off free agency waivers. Reed is in the second season of a three-year, $24 million deal and will join former 76ers teammate
Tobias Harris in the Motor City. The 76ers waived the 25-year-old on July 6th. With Philadelphia, he suited up for 82 regular season games last year, averaging 7.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 1.0 blocks in 19.4 minutes. Come fall, Reed will not be a fantasy factor, as he will have to compete with
Isaiah Stewart and
Jalen Duren for playing time.

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the Philadelphia 76ers are waiving forward/center
Paul Reed. The 25-year-old inked a three-year, $23.5 million deal with Philly last offseason. However, with the Sixers signing free agent
Caleb Martin, Reed, who has a non-guaranteed salary, will be sent packing. He averaged a career-high 7.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 1.0 blocks with the Sixers last season. Although Reed will likely find a new team, he isn't expected to be a routine contributor anytime soon.

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center
Paul Reed has a big fan in new head coach Nick Nurse, who believes the 24-year-old can do a lot more for the team. "He's had a great summer -- amazing. He's really worked," Nurse said of Reed on
Patrick Beverley's podcast. "From the moment I got the job, he got in the shooting program and he's been on it. He's in shape. Will he play with (Joel) Embiid? For sure. I don't think that that's a question. He's going to be out there playing hard, he's going to be defending, and he's going to be doing probably more than he's done before. I think he's ready to take a step up. He can play." During his three-year career, Reed has so far averaged only 9.3 minutes per game, producing 3.7 points and 3.1 rebounds. Life behind Embiid has been difficult for many bigs in Philadelphia, but with Nurse promising Reed minutes alongside him, the former G League MVP could indeed be ready to make a big step up and ignite his NBA career.
