The Pistons have a Daniss Jenkins problem
Feb 27, 2026; Detroit, Michigan, USA; Detroit Pistons guard Daniss Jenkins (24): Lon Horwedel-Imagn Images | Lon Horwedel-Imagn ImagesDaniss Jenkins went 0-6 last night for zero points, and his only scratch on the scorecard (an assist) was wiped out by a turnover. Jenkins is struggling mightily right now, and it’s a big problem for the Pistons.
This all started when he was converted to a standard contract, but that is more coincidence than anything, as Jenkins has been streaky all season.
He has shown a flare for the big moment but has also gone through peaks and valleys this season that you would expect from an inexperienced player getting his first consistent run in the NBA.
