Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Another solid outing in win
Thompson contributed 11 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and two steals across 26 minutes during Monday's 124-119 win over the Knicks.
Since shifting to Detroit's starting lineup Jan. 4 due to Jaden Ivey's potentially season-ending lower leg injury, Thompson has strung together several solid performances for the Pistons. Over his past four games, the versatile 21-year-old has averaged 9.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.3 steals, 2.3 assists and 0.8 threes in 21.9 minutes. The team appears to still be in the process of ramping up Thompson's workload after he missed the start of the season with blood clots, but the forward is becoming a strong source of steals for fantasy managers.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Won't play Monday
Thompson (illness) will not play Monday against Portland.
After posting a double-double with 10 points (5-5 FG), 10 rebounds, two assists and six steals in 26 minutes during Saturday's 119-105 win over Minnesota, Thompson was a late addition to the injury report Monday morning and will be held out. With Thompson out of the picture, guys like Ron Holland and Simone Fontecchio could step into larger roles for the Pistons, who recently lost Jaden Ivey (lower leg) for the season.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Listed as questionable
Thompson is listed as questionable for Monday's game versus Portland due to an illness.
Thompson is a late addition to the injury report which doesn't bode well for his status ahead of Monday's contest, which tips off at 7 p.m. ET. The timing is unfortunate for the second-year forward, as he's coming off a big performance in Saturday's win over the Timberwolves in which he posted 10 points, 10 rebounds, six steals and two assists in 26 minutes. If Thompson can't go Monday, Ron Holland and Simone Fontecchio could be more involved.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Impressive in win Saturday
Thompson accumulated 10 points (5-5 FG), 10 rebounds, two assists and six steals in 26 minutes during Saturday's 119-105 victory over Minnesota.
Thompson went perfect from the field, but scoring numbers aside, he also looked impressive on the defensive end after racking up a season-high six swipes. This also was Thompson's first double-double of the season, and despite making his season debut on Nov. 25, he's provided an undeniable lift on both ends of the court for a rising Pistons team.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Ties career high with five steals
Thompson finished Wednesday's 105-96 win over the Magic with six points (3-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and five steals across 25 minutes.
Thompson continues to prove that he is one of the NBA's best perimeter defenders, averaging 1.2 steals in 18.0 minutes per contest. The 21-year-old forward could also begin to receive increased playing time with Jaden Ivey (leg) sidelined for a significant period.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Best outing of year as starter
Thompson posted 19 points (8-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, one block and four steals in 27 minutes during Monday's 125-124 overtime victory over Miami.
Thompson got the starting nod Monday due to Tobias Harris (hand) being out, concluding his second start of the year one rebound shy of a double-double while coming up one point short of the 20-point mark. Thompson set new season-high totals in scoring and rebounds after entering Monday yet to record more than nine points in six outings.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Cleared from injury report
Thompson (groin) has been removed from the injury report in advance of Thursday's game against Boston.
Thompson is set to return to action after a two-game absence, initially due to an illness and secondarily due to groin soreness. The second-year wing is averaging 6.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.6 blocks in 15.2 minutes across his five appearances this season. He has yet to exceed 20 minutes of action in any contest as Detroit gradually acclimates him following an extended absence due to blood clotting issues.

Thompson will miss his second straight game Saturday, though this time it's due to a groin injury.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Questionable to play Saturday
Thompson (groin) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against New York.
Thompson was sidelined for Wednesday's game against the Celtics due to an illness. He doesn't appear to be under the weather anymore, but he is iffy to play Saturday due to left adductor soreness.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Ruled out for Wednesday
Thompson will be held out of Wednesday's game against Boston due to medical conditioning management.
Thompson logged 14 minutes Tuesday against the Bucks, scoring eight points with five rebounds, one assist and one block. However, he's not yet been cleared to play in both halves of back-to-back sets after suffering from blood clots in March, which resulted in him getting off to a delayed start to the season. Ron Holland and Simone Fontecchio are candidates to pick up a few minutes in Thompson's absence.

Thompson is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pacers.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Making first start of season
Thompson will start Wednesday's game against Memphis, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.
With Cade Cunningham (hip) and Tobias Harris (hip) sidelined, Thompson will make his first start of the season. The second-year wing made his season debut Monday, posting five points (2-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four assists and three rebounds in 16 minutes. Thompson will presumably still face a minutes restriction despite starting.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Gets 16 minutes in season debut
Thompson (illness/conditioning) made his season debut in Monday's 102-100 win over the Raptors, finishing with five points (2-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four assists and three rebounds in 16 minutes.
The second-year forward made his 2024-25 debut Monday after missing the Pistons' first 18 games of the season while awaiting medical clearance from a blood clot issue that first cropped up last March and then getting himself back into playing shape. The Pistons may have deliberately eased Thompson back in with a light workload Monday, and he also exited for a brief period of time after being kicked in the knee. Thompson could see his playing time pick up a bit in the games to come, but now that he's part of a Detroit roster that looks to be much improved from last season's 14-win outfit, a consistent 25-to-30-minute role won't necessarily be in the cards.
