Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Likely to play Saturday
Sasser (hip) is probable for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Cleared to play Thursday
Sasser (hip) is available for Thursday's game against the Pelicans.
Sasser is overcoming a probable designation due to a hip injury that cost him the past three contests. Sasser has averaged 7.5 points, 2.9 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 20.5 minutes per contest in his last eight games.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Fails to make impact in return
Sasser (hip) recorded seven points (3-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 16 minutes Thursday in the Pistons' 129-108 win over the Pelicans.
In his return from a three-game absence due to a right hip strain, Sasser paced the Pistons with a 33.8 percent usage rate but his inefficient shooting yielded an underwhelming line. Sasser will likely stick in the Detroit rotation for as long as Cade Cunningham (lung) remains sidelined, but he's expected to continue playing second fiddle to Daniss Jenkins, who has thrived since replacing Cunningham as the team's starting point guard.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Expected to play
Sasser (hip) is probable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans.
Sasser is trending towards a return after spending three straight games on the shelf. He may see a modest workload behind Daniss Jenkins if he gets the green light to suit up.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Out for Wednesday
Sasser (hip) is out for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
Sasser was unable to shake his doubtful tag for this contest and will sit for a third straight game. His next chance to play comes Thursday against the Pelicans. Daniss Jenkins should continue to be the primary beneficiary of Cade Cunningham's (lung) absence until Sasser is cleared to suit up.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Unlikely to suit up vs. Atlanta
Sasser (hip) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
Sasser appears headed for his third straight absence as a result of a right hip strain. Assuming he's downgraded to out before tipoff, expect Caris LeVert and Kevin Huerter to continue to see a slight uptick in playing time.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Ruled out for Monday
Sasser (hip) is out for Monday's matchup with the Lakers.
This will be Sasser's second straight game on the sidelines, and with Wednesday's game versus the Hawks being the first of a back-to-back set, it wouldn't be surprising to see Sasser spend at least one more game beyond Monday sidelined. Caris LeVert and Kevin Huerter will have a chance for some extra minutes with Sasser unavailable.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Ruled out Friday
Sasser is out for Friday's game against the Warriors due to right hip soreness.
Sasser is sitting out the second half of Detroit's back-to-back set Friday. His absence should slightly increase the streaming value of Daniss Jenkins, Caris LeVert and Duncan Robinson versus Golden State, as Cade Cunningham's (chest) injury has left a ton of usage available in Detroit.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Headed to bench
Sasser will come off the bench for Sunday's game in Toronto.
Ausar Thompson (ankle) is back and starting Sunday, so Sasser will shift back to the second unit. As a reserve this season, Sasser owns averages of 4.8 points and 1.8 assists per contest.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Returns Saturday
Sasser (lower leg) started the second half of Saturday's game against the Nets, per the broadcast.
Sasser headed back to the locker room late in the second quarter after grabbing at his lower left leg. However, he has been cleared to check back in and appears to be good to go for the remainder of the game.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Exits to locker room
Sasser exited to the locker room in the second quarter of Saturday's game against the Nets due to an apparent lower left leg issue, Hunter Patterson of The Athletic reports.
Sasser was seen grabbing at his left lower leg before checking out of Saturday's contest with 1:19 remaining in the first half. If he's unable to return in the second half, Caris LeVert and Kevin Huerter will likely help pick up the slack the rest of the way.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Thrust into starting role
Sasser is in the Pistons' starting lineup against the Nets on Saturday, Eric Vincent of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Sasser has seen inconsistent playing time off the Pistons' bench all year, but he'll make his first start of the season (and first since April 13, 2025) due to the absences of Cade Cunningham (quadriceps) and Ausar Thompson (ankle). Sasser is averaging 4.8 points, 1.8 assists and 0.8 rebounds over 9.4 minutes per game this season, though he was a healthy scratch in four of Detroit's last six games.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Muted role continues
Sasser amassed zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two assists in 10 minutes during Friday's 118-80 victory over the Knicks.
Despite the fact that Jaden Ivey is no longer in Detroit, it appears as though Sasser is still buried on the depth chart. Detroit plans to convert the contract for Daniss Jenkins, allowing him to serve as a regular piece of the rotation. Barring injuries to other players, Sasser can be safely overlooked in most formats.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Logs 21 minutes in win
Sasser ended Wednesday's 112-104 win over New Orleans with nine points (3-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and four assists over 21 minutes.
Sasser played at least 20 minutes for just the third time this season, shifting up in the rotation due to the absence of Cade Cunningham (hip). Although Sasser has been able to contribute when afforded meaningful minutes, situations like that are simply too rare at this point, making him a non-factor in most fantasy formats.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Paces bench in loss
Sasser finished Thursday's 118-112 loss to Miami with 18 points (6-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 24 minutes.
After having recorded a DNP-CD in four straight games, Sasser has logged 20-plus minutes in back-to-back outings. The 25-year-old guard has made the most of his minutes of late, scoring at least 18 points in each of his last two appearances. He has totaled 37 points, seven assists, six rebounds and four steals across 48 minutes in that two-game stretch.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Hits for 19 points from bench
Sasser had 19 points (5-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, five assists and two steals across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 128-106 victory over the Lakers.
Sasser first served as a direct replacement for Cade Cunningham, but the team elected to play him for the entire fourth quarter, where he did most of his damage during a 20-4 run to end the game. The loss of Tobias Harris (hip) shook up the rotation, and Ausar Thompson's tepid play opened up a nice opportunity for Sasser to produce.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Muted role continues
Sasser ended Saturday's 112-86 win over the Hornets with one rebound and one assist across two minutes.
Sasser failed to score for the third time in four games since returning from injury, continuing to serve as nothing more than a depth piece for the Pistons. Even when playing a meaningful role, Sasser has yet to flash any real upside, meaning his value for this season is likely to be nonexistent.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Makes season debut Saturday
Sasser (hip) tallied zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two assists while playing the final 4:13 of Saturday's 124-112 win over the Bucks.
Cleared to make his season debut after missing the Pistons' first 23 games due to a right hip impingement, Sasser wasn't part of the rotation Saturday but was able to get into the contest in garbage time after Detroit built up a 25-point advantage. Cade Cunningham, Duncan Robinson, Caris LeVert and Jaden Ivey appear to be Detroit's top four guards when the team is at full strength, but Sasser could end up getting a look in the rotation if any of those players are out for a given game. Sasser checked into Saturday's contest slightly before second-year guard Daniss Jenkins, who first got off the bench with 3:34 remaining in the fourth quarter.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Probable for Saturday
Sasser (hip) is probable for Saturday's game versus the Bucks.
Sasser is on track to make his regular-season debut, but he'll likely have some restrictions in his first game of the season. Managers can take a wait-and-see approach with Sasser in most formats.
