Let go by Detroit The Pistons are waiving Hayes on Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Impact With several trade deadline additions made by Detroit, Hayes is being waived in order to create space on the roster. While the 2021 No. 7 pick has started in 31 of his 42 appearances this season, he has struggled mightily. In 2023-24, Hayes is averaging 6.9, 4.9 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 24.0 minutes on 41.3/29.7/66.0 shooting splits. If the 22-year-old guard clears waivers, it wouldn't be surprising for a rebuilding team take a flyer on him.

Steps into starting role Hayes will start Wednesday at Sacramento, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Impact 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-CD's in three straight games, so he may not be locked into a massive workload despite his starting status.

Falls out of rotation Hayes (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Wednesday's 128-121 loss to the Cavaliers.
Impact 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.
