The Detroit Pistons have signed Tolu Smith to a standard contract after his impressive performances on a two-way deal. Smith’s elevation comes as Detroit seeks to solidify its frontcourt depth. While he’s not expected to be a major factor in playoff games, Smith could receive additional minutes down the stretch if the team opts to manage the workload of its key players ahead of the postseason.

Tolu Smith is listed as questionable for Saturday’s matchup against the Bulls due to a knee issue. In his recent appearance, Smith played a limited role off the bench, and with Jalen Duren back in the lineup, he is expected to see his playing time reduced further. His potential absence is unlikely to impact fantasy rosters significantly, as he is not slated for a consistent role in the Pistons’ center rotation.
