Bucks' Stanley Umude: Agrees to deal with Milwaukee
Umude (ankle) and the Bucks agreed to a two-way contract Monday, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
The Pistons declined Umude's team option on June 29, so the Bucks acted quickly to scoop up the guard. Umude is unlikely to be in the Bucks' regular rotation, but he could be a long-term project for the franchise to develop. Umude missed the end of the 2023-24 campaign due to a hairline fracture in his right ankle, but he's presumably healthy after passing a physical to make his deal official.

Pistons' Stanley Umude: To become free agent
The Pistons declined Umude's (ankle) team option for the 2024-25 season Saturday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Umude missed the end of the 2023-24 season with a hairline fracture in his ankle, and a timetable isn't currently known. Umude will now have to test the open market as a free agent after making 24 appearances with the Pistons last season with averages of 5.3 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers.

Pistons' Stanley Umude: Won't return this season
The Pistons announced Friday that Umude will miss the remainder of the season due to a hairline fracture in his right ankle, Keith Langlois of the Pistons' official site reports.
Umude sustained the injury in Wednesday's loss to the Pacers and had already been ruled out for Friday's game against Boston. Now that he's been officially diagnosed with a fractured ankle, Umude will end up missing the final few weeks of the regular season, but he won't require surgery and is expected to make a full recovery ahead of training camp in 2024-25. Over 24 appearances with the Pistons this season, the 24-year-old wing averaged 5.3 points and 2.1 rebounds in 12.8 minutes per game.

Pistons' Stanley Umude: Ruled out with fractured ankle
Umude has been ruled out for Friday's game against Boston due to a fractured right ankle.
Umude exited Wednesday's game against the Pacers due to his ankle issue and will miss at least one matchup after being diagnosed with a fracture, although it wouldn't be surprising to see him miss multiple games. Troy Brown and Evan Fournier are candidates to see increased run in his absence.

Pistons' Stanley Umude: Exits with ankle injury
Umude has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Pacers after twisting his right ankle, Keith Langlois of the Pistons' official site reports. He'll finish with eight points (3-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and one rebound during 22 minutes.
Umude has become a key rotation piece for the Pistons as they battle through a laundry list of an injury report and made his second straight start Wednesday. However, his outing was cut short after hurting his ankle in the third quarter. In his place, Troy Brown and Evan Fournier should see more action. Umude's next chance to play will come Friday.

Pistons' Stanley Umude: Matches team-high 34 minutes
Umude registered 10 points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 34 minutes during Monday's 119-94 loss to the Celtics.
Umude's offensive volume was low in comparison to his minute share, but the 24-year-old is becoming a regular member of Detroit rotation down the stretch. He has operated primarily as a spot-up threat across his NBA and G League tenures thus far, making it tough to foresee fantasy value down the stretch given the off-ball nature of his usage and Umude's infrequent defensive playmaking.

Pistons' Stanley Umude: Gets starting nod
Umude is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Boston.
Umude's current three-game stretch of double-digit minutes matches the longest streak of his career. He has been a staple of Detroit's G League team across the past two seasons, and Monday marks a continuation of an opportunity to carve out an NBA rotation role while Ausar Thompson (knee), Cade Cunningham (knee) and Simone Fontecchio (toe) are all inactive. It wouldn't be surprising to see Umude get 25-to-30 minutes of action Monday.

Pistons' Stanley Umude: Recalled Tuesday
Detroit recalled Umude from the G League's Motor City Cruise on Tuesday.
Umude will be available for Tuesday's matchup against the Heat. However, he likely won't see any minutes as Detroit is at full strength, aside from Quentin Grimes (knee).

Pistons' Stanley Umude: Gets converted to standard deal
The Pistons plan to convert Umude from a two-way contract to a standard two-year deal Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Umude had been splitting time between the NBA and G League this season as one of the Pistons' two-way players. The 24-year-old guard is averaging 5.2 points and 1.8 rebounds in 11.2 points across his 17 NBA appearances in 2023-24.

Pistons' Stanley Umude: Posts 20 points in G League
Umude totaled 20 points (7-15 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, one steal and a block across 23 minutes during Saturday's 92-85 win over the Skyhawks.
Umude put together another impressive performance off the bench on Saturday, posting a team-high 20 points and matching a game-high four three-pointers made. Umude will miss the Cruise's game on Monday as he is being assigned to the main roster after averaging 21.7 points and 3.7 rebounds in 26.3 minutes per game over his last three appearances in the G League.

Pistons' Stanley Umude: Breaks out with 19 points
Umude amassed 19 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one block over 25 minutes during Sunday's 142-113 loss to the Raptors.
The 19 points mark a new career high for Umude, and he has certainly made the most of his newfound minutes due to a plethora of injuries in Detroit. Killian Hayes (shoulder) was upgraded to probable and Jalen Duren (ankle) was upgraded to questionable for Monday's game against the Nuggets, so it will be interesting to see if Umude can stay relevant.

Pistons' Stanley Umude: Impresses with 15 points
Umude produced 15 points (5-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and three rebounds across 16 minutes during Monday's 120-109 loss to the Warriors.
The Pistons were missing a total of seven players Monday, most of whom are usually in the rotation. Umude made the most of his limited minutes versus Golden State and gave the coaching staff something to think about. Fantasy managers will want to keep tabs on Umude the next time Detroit is shorthanded.

Pistons' Stanley Umude: Gets two-way deal
The Pistons will convert Umude's Exhibit 10 deal into a two-way contract Monday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
After a strong showing in training camp practices, Umude proceeded to average 9.3 points in 17.0 minutes per game over four preseason appearances while shooting 43.8 percent from three-point range. The 24-year-old joins fellow wings Malcolm Cazalon and Jared Rhoden as the Pistons' three two-way players, with the trio likely to see the majority of their playing time in the G League with the Motor City Cruise during the upcoming season. Umude got his chance to make his NBA debut last February with the Pistons while he was on a 10-day deal, logging two minutes in his lone appearance.

Pistons' Stanley Umude: Makes most of opportunity
Umude delivered 18 points (4-5 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, an assist and a steal across 21 minutes off the bench in Thursday's 128-125 preseason win over the Thunder.
Umude was one of three bench players who logged at least 20 minutes of action. He made the most of his playing time and ended as one of Detroit's top scorers. That said, he's buried on the depth chart and is not expected to see minutes -- or even be part of the Pistons' roster -- once the 2023-24 regular season starts.

Umude logged 22 points (8-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and one assist in 31 minutes during Monday's 122-93 win over Westchester.
Umude came off the bench during Monday's matchup but fell one rebound short of a double-double while leading the team in scoring. He's topped 20 points in two of his last three appearances and is averaging 15.9 points and 4.9 rebounds in 27.9 minutes per game this season.
