On Thursday, the Detroit Pistons announced that they have signed Braxton Key to a 10-day contract. 

The announcement from the team can be seen in the tweet that is embedded below. 

Key played in two games for the Philadelphia 76ers earlier this season.  

The former Virginia star went undrafted in the 2020 NBA Draft, and has also had stints in the G League.
