Detroit Pistons who won’t be back next season: 2. Cory Joseph

The 31-year-old point guard came to Detroit from Sacramento in 2021 as part of the Delon Wright trade. Cory wasn’t necessarily scheduled to be part of the nightly rotation, but Cade’s injury in November obviously changed that. Though he’s a respected veteran presence in the locker room, there are simply no minutes for Cory Joseph on a healthy Detroit team.

If the Pistons want to move forward, they have to make room for Cade and Ivy. This means the Detroit Pistons must move on from Cory Joseph. He enters this summer as an unrestricted free agent. Cory would be better off on a team that has a role already carved out for him.
