Pistons' Jameer Nelson: Career is winding down
Nelson averaged 4.9 points, 3.6 assists and 2.1 rebounds over 50 games played with the Pelicans and Pistons during the 2017-18 season.
At 35 years old, Nelson's 14th NBA season indicated that the end is coming soon for his career, as his minutes, points, assists, rebounds and just about every other statistical category declined drastically from years prior. The former Saint Joseph's standout will be a free agent this summer and it won't be surprising if he considers retirement.

Pistons' Jameer Nelson: Pours in 12 points off bench Monday
Nelson registered 12 points (5-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five assists, one rebound and one steal across 20 minutes in Monday's 118-103 loss to the Pelicans.
Nelson certainly wasn't shy in his second game with his new team, hoisting up 12 shots in just 20 minutes off the bench. With Reggie Jackson (ankle) out for another few weeks and Ish Smith struggling to lead an offense for the Pistons, Nelson is positioning himself for more minutes due to a solid first two games with the team. He has 10 assists in two games for the Pistons, and Monday night he showed what he could bring to the table from a scoring standpoint, albeit it wasn't the best performance from three-point range.

Pistons' Jameer Nelson: Dishes five assists Sunday
Nelson totaled six points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five assists and two rebounds across 19 minutes in Sunday's 118-115 loss to the Hawks.
In Nelson's first game playing with the team, he posted pedestrian numbers, but totals that were solid contributions off the bench for the minutes he was given. Nelson won't hold much stock on the Pistons with a crowded backcourt, but Sunday showed he's still capable of dishing the ball to the team's playmakers, which is enough to continue earning minutes off the bench.

Pistons' Jameer Nelson: Available Friday
Nelson will make his Pistons debut Friday against the Clippers, Rod Beard of The Detroit News reports.
Nelson, who was acquired from the Bulls on Thursday, is expected to compete with the likes of Langston Galloway and Dwight Buycks for minutes off the bench behind fill-in starting point guard Ish Smith, as Reggie Jackson (ankle) is expected to remain sidelined until March. With that many options at point guard, Nelson isn't likely to have a major fantasy utility in his new home.

Pistons' Jameer Nelson: Questionable Friday vs. Clippers
Nelson (coach's decision) is questionable for Friday's matchup with the Clippers, Ron Beard of The Detroit Pistons reports.
Nelson will have to pass a physical exam before he can take the court. If he is cleared to play, expect the veteran to come off the bench behind starter Ish Smith. With Reggie Jackson (ankle) out for the immediate future, Nelson could see a decent amount of action in Detroit, but he will have to battle with Langston Galloway and Dwight Buycks for minutes.

Pistons' Jameer Nelson: Dealt to Detroit
Nelson will be traded from the Bulls to the Pistons in exchange for Willie Reed, Shams Charania of Yahoo! Sports reports.
Nelson was originally traded from the Pelicans to the Bulls early last week, but is now on the move once again and is set to join the Pistons. Detroit is currently without starter Reggie Jackson (ankle) and a timetable has yet to be established for his return, so Nelson should provide some added depth at point guard in the meantime. Look for Nelson to slot in behind Ish Smith, likely battling with Langston Galloway and Dwight Buycks for the leftover reserve minutes in the backcourt. Despite the change in scenery, Nelson still shouldn't be an overly attractive fantasy option considering his likely role.

Bulls' Jameer Nelson: Yet to take physical
Nelson will not be available Saturday against the Clippers, KC Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Nelson came over as part of the Nikola Mirotic trade, and while the Bulls apparently intend to keep him around, he won't be available Saturday afternoon, as he's yet to complete a physical. Expect Nelson to perhaps make his Bulls debut Monday in Sacramento.

Bulls' Jameer Nelson: Traded to Bulls, to be waived
Nelson, along with Omer Asik, Tony Allen and a first-round pick, was traded to the Bulls on Thursday in exchange for Nikola Mirotic and will likely be waived, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Nelson was essentially a throw in as part of the Mirotic deal so the Pelicans would have open roster spots for free agent signings. So, while not official yet, Nelson will likely be on the open market shortly and be free to sign with whichever team he likes. With productive stints in both Denver and New Orleans, Nelson has proven he can still be a quality backup point guard in the NBA.

Bulls' Jameer Nelson: Will remain with Bulls following trade
Updating a previous report, Nelson is expected to remain with the Bulls once the trade with the Pelicans is finalized, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
It was originally expected that the Bulls would cut Nelson following his acquisition, but it's now believed they'll keep him on the roster, at least for the time being. That's likely to provide some insurance at point guard while Kris Dunn continues to work back from a concussion, though once Dunn is back, there's obviously a chance Nelson is then let go. Look for Nelson to slot in behind Jerian Grant at point guard and while his exact workload is unclear at this point, it should become more apparent once he's cleared to make his team debut.
