Detroit waived Gary Harris on Sept. 27, 2026, according to a report, ending his run with the Pistons before the team ever took the floor this season. Harris had worn No. 11 as a guard on Detroit's roster after spending last season with Milwaukee. He is not listed on the injury report, so this was a roster decision, not a medical one. At 32 years old and in his 12th season, Harris now looks for his next stop as a free agent. He played his college ball at Michigan State, where he built the foundation for a career that has taken him through several NBA stops. The waiver ends his brief stint in Detroit before it produced a regular-season game.

His usage rate sat at 8.2 percent, reflecting a bench role built around spacing the floor rather than creating offense. His plus-minus came in at minus-2.8, tied to a Milwaukee team that used him in short bursts rather than extended minutes.
