Jordan Riley is no longer on the Detroit Pistons roster, per the team's official roster update on Thursday, September 24. The move follows a Thursday report from hoopsrumors on a round of roster cuts.
The move
Jordan Riley, a 23-year-old rookie, is off the Detroit Pistons roster as of Thursday, September 24, according to the team's official roster. His position is not announced. The departure follows a Thursday report from hoopsrumors, "Keon Johnson Among Several Players Waived Thursday," which said the Pistons waived several players; no confidence rating was given for that report. Riley is not listed to any team.
The money
Riley's contract is not on file yet; public salary data can lag a signing or waiver by a day. Detroit's payroll stands at $153.2 million across 15 contracts for 2026-27, below the $165.0 million salary cap. The luxury tax line is $200.4 million, the first apron is $209.0 million, and the second apron is $221.7 million. The Pistons remain under the cap and under every apron threshold.
The fit
Riley has no NBA line from last season. Detroit's rotation last season was led by Cade Cunningham at 33.9 minutes and 23.9 points, followed by Jalen Duren (28.2 minutes, 19.5 points), Tobias Harris (27.7, 13.3), Duncan Robinson (27.4, 12.2), Ausar Thompson (26.0, 9.9), Isaiah Stewart (22.7, 10.0), Kevin Huerter (20.5, 8.6) and Daniss Jenkins (20.2, 9.3). The Pistons carry 19 players on the roster, 15 standard plus 3 two-way.
