Pistons agree to deal with Big3 MVP Joe Johnson

Joe Johnson is going from the Big3 back to the big time.

Johnson, 38, who was the MVP of the professional 3-on-3 summer league, is joining the Pistons on a partially guaranteed contract, a league source confirmed to The Detroit News on Thursday.

It's a whirlwind turnaround for the 6-foot-7 small forward, who had a 17-year career in the NBA and last played for the Utah Jazz and Houston Rockets in 2017-18.

Yahoo Sports' Chris Hayes was first to report the agreement with Johnson.

The Pistons would be Johnson's eighth NBA team. In 17 seasons, Johnson has averaged 16 points, four rebounds and 3.
