The Wizards opted not to re-sign Diallo after his 10-day contract expired Friday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Rather than bringing Diallo back on another 10-day pact, the Wizards instead decided to add center Trey Jemison on a 10-day deal to fill the 15th and final spot on the roster. During his week-and-a-half-long stay with Washington, Diallo appeared in two games and averaged just 2.5 minutes. He'll most likely stick around in the organization and rejoin the G League's Capital City Go-Go, with whom he had been playing prior to signing with the NBA club.

Hamidou Diallo: Handed walking papers
Rotowire
Diallo was waived by the Wizards on Saturday.

Pistons' Hamidou Diallo: Out long term with ankle sprain
Rotowire
Detroit announced Tuesday that Diallo has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 right ankle sprain and will be re-evaluated in 3-to-4 weeks, Keith Langlois of the Pistons' official site reports.
Diallo departed in the fourth quarter of Monday's loss to the Trail Blazers due to the injury and was quickly ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Wizards before the MRI revealed that he'll be sidelined for a long-term basis. Given that Diallo won't be re-evaluated until late March at the earliest, he seems unlikely to get back on the court before the Pistons' season comes to a close April 9. Diallo, who is set to become a free agent this offseason, will likely finish the campaign with averages of 9.3 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.0 assists over 17.8 minutes per game across 56 appearances.

Pistons' Hamidou Diallo: Most likely done for season
Rotowire
Pistons head coach Dwane Casey acknowledged Tuesday that Diallo (ankle) likely won't be available to play again this season by the time he's re-evaluated in 3-to-4 weeks, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Even if Diallo's Grade 2 right ankle sprain checks out better than expected when he gets re-examined in early April, the 15-51 Pistons don't have any incentive to rush him back on the court before their season comes to an end April 9. The 24-year-old Diallo will finish his fifth NBA season with averages of 9.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.9 steals in 17.8 minutes per game while shooting a career-high 57.3 percent from the field and a career-worst 58.8 percent from the free-throw line across 56 appearances. Diallo is scheduled to become a free agent this summer.

Pistons' Hamidou Diallo: Pours in season-high 23
Rotowire
Diallo supplied 23 points (10-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), three rebounds, two assists and three steals in 33 minutes off the bench during Monday's 117-106 loss to Charlotte.
It was the best scoring performance of the season for Diallo, who has scored in double digits in six straight games while shooting 60.3 percent from the floor. With Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) sidelined, Diallo would seem to have an opportunity in the front of him to stay locked in while seeing elevated usage.
Diallo produced 18 points (8-11 FG, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 22 minutes during Sunday's 119-118 loss to the Raptors.
It's his best scoring performance since he popped for 19 against the Pelicans on Jan. 13, and Diallo's seven boards were also his best effort on the glass since that game. The fifth-year wing's production and court time haven't been consistent lately. Coming into Sunday, he'd seen 18 minutes or less in four straight contests, making him tough to rely on for fantasy purposes.
