Lucas signed with the Pistons for the remainder of the season.

Analysis:

Lucas will remain with the Pistons for the remainder of the season as they continue to gun for one of the final playoff spots in the East. Lucas had played double-digit minutes in six straight games earlier in the month, but with the recent acquisition of Reggie Jackson, his playing time figures to sharply decline. Jackson and rookie Spencer Dinwiddie will handle most of the point guard duties going forward, as was the case Tuesday against Cleveland when Lucas saw only four minutes off the bench.
