The Pistons didn't re-sign Walton after his 10-day contract expired Tuesday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Now that his contract with Detroit has expired, Walton will likely rejoin the organization's G League affiliate, the Motor City Cruise. While Detroit was shorthanded last week, Walton appeared in three games, starting all of them while averaging 6.3 points, 7.0 assists, 3.3 rebounds, 2.3 steals and 1.3 blocks in 36.0 minutes per contest. Considering Walton drew plenty of praise from Detroit head coach Dwane Casey during his week-and-a-half-long stint with the club, it wouldn't be surprising to see him catch on with the Pistons or another NBA team later on this season.

Walton (undisclosed) is out for Monday's contest against the Bucks, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Just one game after making an incredible nut-meg pass to Saddiq Bey for a game-winning three, Walton will not be suiting up for Monday's matchup. The Pistons also do appear to be getting more healthy, so it is quite unlikely that the Michigan repeats his 36.0 minutes per game average when he returns. Walton's next chance to return to Detroit's lineup comes Wednesday in Charlotte.
