Ausar Thompson News
Detroit Pistons guard/forward Ausar Thompson will miss the rest of the 2023-24 regular season with a blood clot, reports Shams Charania of The Athletic. He's been out for the past five games, and unfortunately, Thompson will be forced to end his debut campaign early. The good news is that Thompson has been cleared to resume conditioning, and he is expected to begin non-contact basketball activities toward the end of the regular season. Thompson, who was the fifth pick in last year's draft, finishes his rookie season with averages of 8.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 1.1 steals.
Detroit Pistons guard/forward Ausar Thompson (medical illness) will miss a sixth consecutive game on Wednesday versus the Pacers. He's relinquished his starting role to Simone Fontecchio (toe), but the Italian forward was also out on Monday versus Boston and is questionable to face Indiana. Stanley Umude has been a big beneficiary of Detroit's recent lineup issues, with Evan Fournier also becoming fantasy-relevant again. With the total set at 233.5 points, the clash between Detroit and Indiana is projected to be the highest-scoring matchup on Wednesday's slate, meaning we should get plenty of good fantasy lines out of it.
Detroit Pistons guard/forward Ausar Thompson (medical illness) will be absent for a third consecutive game on Friday against Miami. Thompson has been taken out of the lineup with a medical illness, and it's unclear when he will be ready to return. The versatile rookie had played in every game during his maiden campaign before an issue related to his asthma occurred. Simone Fontecchio has returned to the first unit with Thompson out. Evan Fournier also has a chance to get extra work, although he has been trending down again this month after initially having a good run with the Pistons since his move from New York.
Detroit Pistons forward Ausar Thompson (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game versus the Toronto Raptors. After exiting Saturday's loss to the Dallas Mavericks due to asthma, Thompson is sidelined for a second consecutive game with the issue. The raw rookie first-rounder hopes to return on Friday for the fifth outing of Detroit's six-game homestand and the first matchup of a two-game series against the Miami Heat. Marksman Simone Fontecchio is averaging 15.2 points, 2.6 treys on 43.0% shooting from deep, and 1.0 steals in 29.0 minutes across 13 games (six starts) since joining the Pistons and is a fine fantasy streamer with Thompson unavailable against a Raptors group giving up the fifth-most triples (13.5) per game this season.
