The Detroit Pistons trimmed their roster down to 15 players on Monday by waiving veteran forward Danny Granger, as expected.
Granger, who was acquired from the Phoenix Suns as a salary dump addition in July's Marcus Morris trade, did not participate in training camp or the preseason due to a knee injury.
By waiving Granger and his guaranteed contract for 2015-16, the Pistons will be eating the nearly $2.2 million owed to the 32-year-old.
Granger averaged 6.3 points and 2.7 rebounds in 30 games with the Miami Heat last season.
A one-time All Star who averaged more than 21 points per game over a five-year span from 2007-2012, Granger has played only 76 games over the last three seasons due to a slew of knee issues.
