DETROIT (AP) — Daniss Jenkins scored 18 points in his last game as a two-way player and the Detroit Pistons routed New York 118-80 on Friday night to end the Knicks’ winning streak at eight games.
Jenkins was playing his 42nd game of the season, meaning he is no longer eligible for NBA games under his two-way contract. The Pistons must convert his deal to a full NBA contract to keep him. He’s averaging 8.2 points and 3.3 assists in 16.8 minutes as a backup guard.
