DETROIT - THE Detroit Pistons welcomed back centre Antonio McDyess on Tuesday, little more than a month after trading him to Denver as part of the deal to acquire Allen Iverson.
McDyess played in two National Basketball Association games for the Pistons this season before they traded him - along with Chauncey Billups and Cheikh Samb - to Denver in the deal for Iverson.
However, the Nuggets placed McDyess on waivers on Nov 6 after buying out his contract.
That opened the door for McDyess to return to Detroit following the required 30-day waiting period before he could re-sign with his former club.
McDyess, 34, originally joined the Pistons for the start of the 2004-05 campaign and was the team's top bench scorer in each of his first four seasons in Detroit.
A 12-year veteran, McDyess has played in 805 games with the Nuggets, Phoenix Suns, New York Knicks and Pistons.
He has career averages of 13.4 points and 7.7 rebounds. -- AFP
