Rapid Reaction: Joe Johnson to sign with Detroit Pistons, Michael Beasley “released”

After collecting a MVP award and Big3 championship, Joe Johnson has landed a NBA contract with the Detroit Pistons.

On Thursday, The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported that Johnson will sign with the Detroit Pistons.

Johnson, 38, drew interest from several teams including the Milwaukee Bucks and Brooklyn Nets after an impressive performance in the Big3, but ultimately decided to join the Pistons after meeting with the team on Wednesday.

Johnson will likely serve in a limited role for Detroit if he makes the final cut, bolstering a second unit that has lacked depth and scoring ability.
