Nets' Killian Hayes: Headed to Brooklyn
The Nets signed Hayes to a one-year contract Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Hayes averaged 6.9 points, 4.9 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 24.0 minutes across 42 regular-season appearances, including 31 starts, for the Pistons in 2023-24. However, the No. 7 pick in the 2020 NBA Draft struggled with his efficiency, posting 41.3/29.7/66.0 shooting splits. Hayes will now have the opportunity to compete for a depth role in Brooklyn's backcourt.

Killian Hayes: Let go by Detroit
The Pistons are waiving Hayes on Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
With several trade deadline additions made by Detroit, Hayes is being waived to create space on the roster. While the 2021 No. 7 overall pick has started in 31 of his 42 appearances this season, he has struggled mightily. Hayes averaged 6.9 points, 4.9 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 24.0 minutes per game while shooting 41.3 percent from the field and 29.7 percent from three-point range. Still just 22 years old, Hayes should still have some appeal in free agency as a developmental point guard.

Pistons' Killian Hayes: Steps into starting role
Hayes will start Wednesday at Sacramento, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Hayes will take the place of Cade Cunningham (knee) in the starting lineup for the first leg of a back-to-back set. While he's started 30 games this season with Detroit, Hayes had received DNP-CDs in three straight games, so he may not be locked into a massive workload despite his starting status.

Pistons' Killian Hayes: Falls out of rotation
Hayes (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Wednesday's 128-121 loss to the Cavaliers.
After making a spot start in place of Cade Cunningham (knee) for the second leg of a back-to-back set in Sunday's 120-104 win over the Thunder, Hayes dropped out of the rotation entirely while Cunningham made his return to the lineup Wednesday. Cunningham's recent return as well as Monte Morris' return from a long-term absence due to a quadricep strain has brought the Detroit backcourt back to full strength, leaving no room for Hayes to pick up minutes. Considering that Hayes is in the final year of his contract and has seemingly fallen out of favor in Detroit, the 2020 lottery pick could be a candidate to get moved elsewhere ahead of the Feb. 8 trade deadline.

Pistons' Killian Hayes: Officially starting Sunday
Hayes will move into the starting lineup with Cade Cunningham (knee) ruled out, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Hayes returns to the starting lineup for the ninth time in Detroit's past 10 games, although he has averaged just 4.4 points and 7.4 assists in 25.4 minutes over that span. Cade Cunningham was a game-time scratch due to knee management, but no setback was reported.

Pistons' Killian Hayes: Struggles against Bucks
Hayes amassed two points (1-2 FG), one rebound, five assists, one block and one steal across 16 minutes during Monday's 122-113 loss to the Bucks.
Hayes has been unable to make the most of his opportunities while Cade Cunningham (knee) has been sidelined. Cunningham is nearing a return, and the same is true of Monte Morris (quadriceps). Given Hayes' struggles, his minutes could be in jeopardy when the Pistons get a little healthier.
