Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Held scoreless in loss Thursday
Sasser had zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two assists and one rebound across nine minutes during Thursday's 123-121 overtime loss to the Hornets.
The 24-year-old went scoreless for the first time since Nov. 3, and he saw a decrease in playing time from his average of 10.7 minutes per game despite Cade Cunningham exiting the game with a hip injury. Across his last five outings, Sasser has averaged 5.8 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 14.0 minutes per game.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Team option exercised
The Pistons exercised the third-year option of Sasser's rookie contract Monday, Coty M. Davis of The Detroit News reports.
Sasser came off the bench for most of the 2023-24 campaign, but he was in the Pistons' starting lineup over his last 10 regular-season outings and averaged 13.6 points, 4.6 assists, 2.0 steals and 0.9 steals over 30.9 minutes per game. Sasser and Malik Beasley are projected to be the first guards off the bench for the Pistons behind starters Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Productive off bench Sunday
Sasser finished with 12 points (4-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 19 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 120-87 preseason win over the Bucks.
Sasser's best chance to see steady minutes in the regular season will be to operate as Cade Cunningham's backup, and he certainly made his presence felt as a playmaker Sunday by dishing out a team-high nine assists. Sasser averaged 8.3 points and 3.3 assists across 19.0 minutes per game in 71 regular-season appearances as a rookie in 2023-24. However, he figures to experience an uptick in his numbers if he can carve out a larger role in Year 2.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Pops for 17 in finale
Sasser notched 17 points (6-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one block in 31 minutes during Sunday's 123-95 loss to the Spurs.
Making his seventh straight start, Sasser drained multiple three-pointers for the sixth time during that stretch. The 23-year-old rookie averaged 14.6 points, 4.6 assists, 2.3 threes, 2.0 boards and 0.9 steals in his starting stint, but the Pistons' overloaded backcourt likely doesn't leave him with a clear path to consistent minutes next season, as Cade Cunningham (knee), Jaden Ivey and Quentin Grimes (knee) all seem set for significant roles when healthy.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Scores 25 points in win
Sasser finished Friday's 107-89 win over the Mavericks with 24 points (9-20 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 32 minutes.
Sasser's team-high 24 points marked the second time he has scored as much this season, and he finished two points short of his season high. The 23-year-old has averaged 14.8 points, 1.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.4 blocks and 2.2 triples across 30.1 minutes in his last five games. He will look to stay productive in Detroit's season finale in San Antonio on Sunday.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Scores 20 points vs. Chicago
Sasser had 20 points (8-15 FG, 4-10 3Pt), five assists, one block and two steals across 33 minutes during Thursday's 127-105 loss to the Bulls.
Sasser extended his streak of double-digit scoring games to three Thursday. He reached the 20-point mark for the sixth time this season, and he has seen an uptick in field-goal attempts due to Cade Cunningham being siidelined with a knee injury. In his last eight starts, Sasser has averaged 11.9 points, 1.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.0 steals over 30.7 minutes per game.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Bounces back Saturday
Sasser notched 18 points (7-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, six assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Saturday's 113-103 loss to the Nets.
Sasser needed 17 shots to score 18 points, but the rookie guard bounced back from an ugly two-point effort in a loss to the Grizzlies on Friday. It wouldn't be surprising if Sasser ends up seeing extended minutes in the final week of the regular season due to Cade Cunningham's recurring knee problems, as well as the fact that the Pistons have nothing to play for, allowing Sasser to play heavy minutes without risk.
