The Detroit Pistons signed stretch forward Chimezie Metu to a 10-day contract, the team announced today.
He began the season with the Phoenix Suns, appearing in 37 games, including five starts, averaging five points and three rebounds in 12.1 minutes per game on the year. At February’s trade deadline, he was sent to the Memphis Grizzlies in a three-team deal that netted the Suns David Roddy and Royce O’Neale. The Grizzlies waived Metu the following day, according to Spotrac.
Throughout his career, he has averaged 5.6 points and 3.3 rebounds per game over 246 career games and 31 starts.
