DETROIT (AP) — Antonio McDyess is coming back to play for the Detroit Pistons.
"After long deliberation Antonio has decided that he will return to the Pistons," Andy Miller, McDyess' agent, informed The Associated Press via text message Sunday night.
Detroit dealt McDyess, Chauncey Billups and project Cheikh Samb to Denver for Allen Iverson on Nov. 3. The cost-cutting Nuggets waived McDyess a week later and he has to wait until 30 days have passed since the trade to rejoin the Pistons.
The 6-foot-9 power forward averaged seven points and four rebounds in two games as a key reserve for Detroit before the trade.
