The Pistons waived Arcidiacano on Friday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Arcidiacano was traded from the Knicks to the Pistons on Thursday but won't play for Detroit. The 29-year-old guard averaged just 2.3 minutes across 20 appearances for New York in 2023-24 and will look to join his fourth NBA team as a free agent.
Arcidiacono was traded from the Knicks to the Pistons along with Quentin Grimes, Malachi Flynn, Evan Fournier and two second-round picks Thursday in exchange for Bojan Bogdanovic (calf) and Alec Burks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Arcidiacono didn't garner a significant role for the Knicks to begin the season, averaging just 2.3 minutes per game over 20 appearances. While he'll move from a contender to a rebuilding franchise, it seems unlikely that many minutes will be available for him on a team that has several young contributors.
Arcidiacono closed with one rebound across two minutes during Monday's 113-92 victory over Charlotte.
Arcidiacono remained in the rotation Monday, failing to score in two minutes. Although he has played in four of the past five games, he has seen a total of just 11 minutes in that time, leaving him well off the radar when it comes to fantasy.

Knicks' Ryan Arcidiacono: Inks deal with New York
Rotowire
The Knicks signed Arcidiacono (back) on Friday.
The terms of the deal were not disclosed, but Arcidiacono will at least get a shot to compete for a roster spot during training camp. The Villanova product appeared in 10 games for the Knicks in 2021-22 and 11 games in 2022-23, but he's still a long shot to make New York's Opening Night roster this season.
The Trail Blazers waived Arcidiacono (back) on Saturday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Arcidiacono had missed the last two games due to a back injury, but he had started the three games prior to that. However, Portland needed a roster spot for the addition of Jeenathan Williams, who the team signed to a two-year deal Saturday. Arcidiacono was the resulting roster casualty, making him a free agent if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

Trail Blazers' Ryan Arcidiacono: Makes return from back injury
Rotowire
Arcidiacono (back) logged 17 minutes in Sunday's 127-110 loss to the Pelicans, finishing with five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal.
After missing the Blazers' last eight games with a lower-back injury, Arcidiacono was cleared ahead of the opening tip and ended up settling in as the top backup behind starting point guard Anfernee Simons. Damian Lillard sat out Sunday with a calf injury and could be back in action for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, and if that's the case, Arcidiacono will be a prime candidate to move out of the rotation entirely.
