Daniss Jenkins Enters 2026-27 Healthy, Building on His Rookie-Year Numbers
newsroom · 44 min agoDaniss Jenkins is back with the Pistons for the 2026-27 season, wearing No. 24 as a 25-year-old guard out of St. John's. He is not on the injury report. The season opener is still ahead, so the story right now is his roster spot and what he showed last year.
Roster Spot
Daniss Jenkins is on the Pistons roster for 2026-27, wearing No. 24. He is a guard, listed at 6-4 and 165 pounds, and he is 25 years old. Jenkins has two seasons of NBA experience and played college basketball at St. John's. Detroit was also his team last season, so he returns to a roster he already knows. With no current-season games played yet, his exact role this year is still to be determined on the floor, but he is in camp as a rotation guard with NBA experience already on his resume.
Last Season by the Numbers
Last season, Jenkins appeared in 72 games for Detroit and averaged 20.2 minutes a night. He put up 9.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game, with 0.9 steals, 0.2 blocks and 1.6 turnovers. He shot 40.8 percent from the field, 37.4 percent from three and 83.2 percent from the foul line, good for a true shooting mark of 52.5 percent. His usage rate sat at 20.9 percent, and his plus-minus was plus-2.9. Those numbers point to a guard who found real minutes as a rookie and shot the ball efficiently, especially from three and the line.
Health Report
Jenkins is not on the injury report heading into 2026-27. There is no injury history to note for him. That is a clean bill of health as the Pistons build their roster for the season, and it means Jenkins should be available for camp and the run-up to the opener without any restrictions tied to a prior injury.
What's Ahead
The 2026-27 season has not started yet, so there is no current record or recent-game log to report for Jenkins or the Pistons. The opener is coming. Once the season tips off, his role and playing time will start to take shape on the floor. There are no rumors or trade buzz to report on Jenkins at this point, and no departures from last season's roster tied to his situation. For now, the story is last year's efficient shooting numbers and a clean health report going into a new season.
