Top Ausar Thompson News

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Career-high seven steals

    Thompson finished with eight points (4-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and seven steals over 25 minutes during Friday's 115-101 victory over the Warriors.

    Thompson flexed his muscles on the defensive end, recording a career-high seven steals. Although the rest of his line was mostly underwhelming, anyone rostering Thompson is likely doing so in a bid to boost their defensive stats. While the production is exciting, the fact that he is still only playing minutes in the mid-20s is somewhat underwhelming. He remains a must-roster player, albeit in specific situations only.

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Nearly double-doubles

    Thompson ended with 10 points (3-7 FG, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 22 minutes during Thursday's 117-95 victory over Washington.

    Thompson saw a modest workload Thursday as the Pistons easily handled the Wizards. With Cade Cunningham (chest) out indefinitely, Thompson is likely to see more ball-handling responsibilities going forward, which can only be a good thing for his fantasy appeal.

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Provides full stat line in return

    Thompson totaled four points (2-8 FG, 0-2 FT), one rebound, three assists, one block and one steal over 24 minutes during Sunday's 119-108 loss to the Raptors.

    Following a four-game absence with an ankle sprain, Thompson chipped in across the board for the Pistons on Sunday. The third-year forward didn't appear to face a minutes restriction in his return. Since the All-Star break, Thompson has averaged 9.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 24.8 minutes per game over nine contests.

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Will play Sunday

    Thompson (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Raptors.

    As expected, Thompson has been upgraded from probable to available and will end a five-game absence due to a right ankle sprain. In seven outings before picking up the injury, Thompson averaged 11.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.0 blocks in 28.1 minutes per contest.

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Probable for Sunday

    Thompson (ankle) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Raptors.

    Thompson is on track to end a five-game absence due to a right ankle sprain, which would likely send Marcus Sasser back to the second unit. In his past seven outings before picking up the injury March 5, Thompson had averaged 11.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.0 blocks in 28.1 minutes per contest.

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Won't play Friday

    Thompson (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Memphis.

    Thompson will miss a fifth consecutive contest due to a sprained right ankle, and his next opportunity to suit up will come Sunday in Toronto. With the 23-year-old forward sidelined, Ronald Holland, Marcus Sasser and Kevin Huerter are candidates to see increased minutes.

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Doubtful for Friday

    Thompson (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.

    Thompson is expected to miss a fifth consecutive game as he remains on the injury report with a right ankle sprain. On March 7, head coach J.B. Bickerstaff mentioned it would be "a minute" before the wing returned, but the doubtful tag suggests Thompson is trending in the right direction. Marcus Sasser is expected to remain in the starting lineup in Thompson's place, while Ronald Holland and Kevin Huerter should continue to see expanded roles.

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Ruled out for Thursday

    Thompson is out for Thursday's game against the 76ers with a right ankle sprain.

    Thompson is missing a fourth consecutive contest Thursday. His next chance to play comes on a short turnaround Friday against the Grizzlies. Marcus Sasser will likely continue to start at shooting guard for the Pistons until Thompson is cleared to retake the floor.

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Ruled out for Tuesday

    Thompson is out for Tuesday's game against the Nets with a right ankle sprain.

    Thompson is missing a third consecutive contest Tuesday. His next chance to play comes Thursday versus the 76ers. Marcus Sasser will likely continue to start for the Pistons until Thompson is cleared to retake the court.

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Likely to miss time, but day-to-day

    Pistons head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said Saturday that Thompson is considered "day-to-day" while he recovers from a right ankle sprain, Hunter Patterson of The Athletic reports.

    Thompson sprained the ankle during the first quarter of the Pistons' 121-106 loss to the Spurs on Thursday. He's since been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nets, and with Bickerstaff noting that it's "going to be a minute" before Thompson plays again, the third-year forward looks safe to rule out through Sunday's road game against Miami. Kevin Huerter, Caris LeVert and Javonte Green are all candidates to enter the Pistons' starting lineup in Thompson's stead beginning with Saturday's game.

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Ruled out for Saturday

    Thompson (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nets.

    Thompson logged just two minutes before exiting Thursday's loss to the Spurs due to a sprained right ankle, and he'll be held out of the front end of this back-to-back set. With the third-year forward sidelined, Javonte Green, Kevin Huerter and Caris LeVert are candidates to see an uptick in minutes.

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Fails to return

    Thompson (ankle) didn't return to Thursday's game against the Spurs. He finished the night with one block in two minutes.

    Thompson picked up an ankle injury minutes into the first quarter, and he didn't check back into the game after being diagnosed with a sprain. Javonte Green, Kevin Huerter and Caris LeVert were all far more involved during Thursday's clash without Thompson in the mix. The 23-year-old will likely be re-evaluated within the next day or so and should be considered questionable for Saturday's game against Brooklyn until further notice.

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Questionable to return

    Thompson is questionable to return to Thursday's game against San Antonio due to a right ankle sprain, Hunter Patterson of The Athletic reports.

    Thompson left the game early in the first quarter after picking up an ankle injury. Javonte Green, Ronald Holland and Kevin Huerter could all gets more looks if Thompson is unable to return.

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Leaves for locker room

    Thompson went to the locker room during the first quarter of Thursday's game against the Spurs with an apparent right ankle injury, Hunter Patterson of The Athletic reports.

    Thompson appeared to twist his right ankle on a drive to the basket and was down in pain for a few minutes before hobbling to the locker room. Ronald Holland checked into the game to replace the injured Thompson, who can be considered questionable to return until the team has an update to share.

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Logs four swipes in loss

    Thompson totaled 16 points (7-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, six assists, one block and four steals over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 113-109 loss to the Cavaliers.

    It was the seventh time this season that Thompson recorded at least four steals in a game, five of which have come since Jan. 19. He's logged at least two steals in six of his last seven outings and finished Tuesday's game as Detroit's third-leading scorer behind Jalen Duren (24 points) and Tobias Harris (19 points). Thompson has averaged 11.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.0 blocks over 28.1 minutes per game since the All-Star break.

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Fills up box score in win

    Thompson accumulated nine points (4-5 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals in 21 minutes during Sunday's 106-92 win over the Magic.

    Thompson's playing time remains inconsistent, but he was still able to stuff the stat sheet Sunday. The 2023 first-rounder could remain at risk of losing minutes to Ronald Holland or Caris LeVert late in games when the Pistons need more scoring, but Thompson is locked into a starting role. Over his past six outings, he's averaged 10.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.0 blocks in 27.6 minutes per game.

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Muted effort in loss

    Thompson provided eight points (4-6 FG), four rebounds and two assists in 18 minutes during Monday's 114-103 loss to San Antonio.

    This performance wasn't up to Thompson's usual standards, and his minutes took a hit as a result. Thompson had cleared 30 minutes in his previous two outings, so fantasy managers will be hoping this is just a bump in the road.

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Contributes across the board

    Thompson closed with four points (2-3 FG), four rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 113-95 victory over the Raptors.

    While Wednesday's effort was relatively muted, Thompson has bounced back nicely overall from a shaky start to the season. The versatile forward has averaged 8.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.7 steals in 25.1 minutes per contest in his last 12 games, shooting 52.4 percent from the floor. That said, Thompson's subpar foul shooting and lack of outside scoring could continue to limit his minutes to the 20s.

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Monster line in loss

    Thompson chipped in 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, two blocks and four steals in 33 minutes during Thursday's 126-117 loss to the Wizards.

    For the sixth time this season, Thompson recorded at least four steals -- his season-high mark remains six steals, which he accomplished against Golden State on Jan. 30. Thompson has been a fourth-round value in nine-category formats over his last eight games with 9.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 3.0 steals and 0.8 blocks in 24.9 minutes per contest.

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Strong line in win

    Thompson recorded nine points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt), eight rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals in 25 minutes during Sunday's 130-77 victory over the Nets.

    The Pistons ran away with this game in a hurry, resulting in fewer minutes for their key players. Thompson was a menace defensively and made the most of his modest workload, however. The forward has provided fourth-round value in nine-category formats over his last eight games, averaging 9.0 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 3.1 steals and 0.5 blocks over that stretch.
