Pistons plan to sign John Lucas III

The Detroit Pistons plan to sign veteran guard John Lucas III to a 10-day contract this week, according to league sources.

The Pistons, who have been looking for another point guard ever since Brandon Jennings suffered a season-ending Achilles injury, are in the process of finalizing a deal with Lucas, who is fresh off completing his season in China.

Lucas, 31, spent last season with the Utah Jazz, his fourth NBA team after previous stints with Houston, Chicago and Toronto.
