This buyout strategically creates an opportunity for playoff contenders to sign Milton for the remainder of the season.

Milton, who joined the Pistons from the Minnesota Timberwolves at the trade deadline, played only four games for Detroit.

Originally a late second-round pick in the 2018 draft, Milton spent the first five years of his career with the Philadelphia 76ers.

His brief stint with the Pistons saw him average 4.9 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game this season.
