Mike Muscala.
Veteran forward Mike Muscala is finalizing a buyout with the Pistons, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski tweets. Muscala has some playoff contenders interested in signing him, Wojnarowski adds.
A player on an NBA contract must be waived by the end of the day on Friday in order to retain his playoff eligibility. As our Buyout Market Watch shows, Muscala will join several other recently waived veterans who are seeking to sign with a team in the postseason hunt.
Muscala, 32, had the misfortune of playing for the league’s two worst teams this season. He played 24 games with the Wizards before he was dealt in mid-January to Detroit. Muscala has appeared in 13 games with the Pistons, including four starts, averaging 3.5 points and 2.2 rebounds in 13.2 minutes.
Muscala can play either power forward or small-ball center and his 37.6 career three-point percentage could make him a valuable bench piece for a team looking for frontcourt depth.
Muscala has a $3.5M salary this season and will be an unrestricted free agent this summer. He has $905,000 remaining on this year’s contract, ESPN’s Bobby Marks tweets.
