Pistons waive guard RJ Hampton

RJ Hampton’s brief time with the Pistons has come to an end.

The team announced on Saturday that it waived the 22-year-old guard after he finished the 2022-23 season in Detroit.

Hampton, who was on a non-guaranteed contract worth $1.9 million for next season, joined the Pistons after he was waived by the Orlando Magic in late February.

He appeared in 21 games with the Pistons and primarily came off the bench. He averaged 7.3 points and 2.3 rebounds in 18.5 minutes per contest while shooting 36.5% from 3-point range.

Hampton, a former first-round pick, has bounced around since entering the league in 2020.
