Tosan Evbuomwan, who went undrafted last year out of Princeton, will reportedly sign a two-way contract with the Detroit Pistons, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
Evbuomwan, who is from England, joined the Pistons for the NBA Summer League last year and averaged seven points, four rebounds and 1.3 assists in three appearances. He went through training camp with the team and started the season in the G League with the Motor City Cruise.
The 23-year-old is averaging 15.1 points, 8.6 rebounds and 3.9 assists on 34.7% shooting from 3-point range in 29 games with the Cruise. He produced five 20-point games, including a season-high 24 points, 17 rebounds and four steals on Dec. 21.

Evbuomwan signed a 10-day contract with the Memphis Grizzlies on Jan. 30 and a 10-day contract with the Pistons on Feb. 12. He is averaging three points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists on 33.3% shooting from 3-point range in five appearances.
The Pistons were able to sign Evbuomwan to a two-way contract after they converted Stanley Umude to a two-year contract. They will also have Jared Rhoden and Buddy Boeheim signed to two-way contracts after a series of recent moves.
Evbuomwan emerged as a productive player this year in the G League and was rewarded with a two-way contract. He will be able to continue his development with the Pistons and Cruise.
