Mon Mar 3019:34Ausar Thompson is Cleared for Monday's Game
Detroit Pistons forward Ausar Thompson (ankle) is available to play ahead of Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Thompson will shed the questionable tag and suit up for this game despite dealing with an ankle issue. It's the front end of a back-to-back set, so Thompson could sit out on Tuesday. Fantasy managers should check back for an update on his status ahead of that game against the Toronto Raptors. Thompson will likely be asked to take on a larger role offensively with Tobias Harris (hip), Duncan Robinson (hip), and Jalen Duren (knee) all sidelined. He should be a solid fantasy option with the Pistons shorthanded for Monday's slate.

Sun Mar 2918:49Ausar Thompson Uncertain for Monday
Detroit Pistons guard/forward Ausar Thompson (ankle) has been tagged as questionable on the injury report ahead of Monday's meeting with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Detroit will begin a back-to-back set and has some decisions to make. Thompson is managing a right ankle injury, so he's likely to sit out at least one of the upcoming games. Kevin Huerter, Ron Holland II, and Javonte Green could all see more time on the court in Thompson's absence. Even if Thompson is in the lineup, the trio might still have expanded roles, as the Pistons are poised to head out with a new-look starting lineup. Jalen Duren (knee), Duncan Robinson (hip), and Tobias Harris (hip) are all unlikely to play.

Fri Mar 2720:22Ausar Thompson Questionable Against Minnesota
Detroit Pistons guard/forward Ausar Thompson (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against Minnesota after recently managing a sprain that already cost him multiple games this month. If he sits, Kevin Huerter and Ron Holland II could see expanded roles. Huerter is the more appealing fantasy option after posting 22 points, four three-pointers, and one steal in 34 minutes in his last start. Holland contributed seven rebounds and four assists in 19 minutes and is more of a deep-league option. Javonte Green could also see situational minutes if Detroit remains shorthanded.

Detroit Pistons forward Ausar Thompson (ankle) is available to play ahead of Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. As expected, Thompson is cleared to play after being listed as probable on the injury report. Despite the minor ankle injury, Thompson is ready to go for the second leg of this back-to-back set. The second-year forward is on a roll defensively, with 12 steals over his last three games. He needs to be rostered and started in most fantasy formats right now. Thompson looks to keep the good things rolling after dropping 18 points with four steals during Wednesday's contest.

Detroit has used Marcus Sasser as Thompson's replacement in the starting unit, and he is poised to drop back to the bench. As a reserve, Sasser doesn't have any fantasy value, averaging 4.8 points and 1.8 assists off the bench this season. Thompson is having a career year with the Pistons, posting 10.2 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 1.9 steals per game.

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Ausar Thompson (ankle) will miss Friday's game against Memphis, extending his absence to five straight contests due to a right ankle sprain. His next opportunity to return comes Sunday against Toronto.

If Thompson is ruled out again, Ron Holland II and Javonte Green will continue to get extra minutes and usage at forward and be excellent streaming and DFS options.

Mon Nov 17 202512:12Ausar Thompson Listed as Questionable Vs. Pacers
Detroit Pistons forward Ausar Thompson (ankle) has a chance to return from a three-game absence due to an ankle sprain. On the official injury report against the Indiana Pacers on Monday, Thompson drew a questionable tag. The dynamic wing hasn't played since their win over the Phoenix Suns on November 9, but he has seen career highs in almost every category across the board. He's averaging 13.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.8 steals, and 1.4 turnovers across 29.1 minutes per game. If he remains out for a fourth consecutive game, Duncan Robinson and Ron Holland II will continue to see more opportunities. Robinson provides a bit more consistent value for fantasy managers in category leagues, but Holland produces a bit more in the stocks department.

The 2023 No. 5 overall pick is having the best season of his career, averaging 13.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.8 steals. He tweaked his ankle during Sunday's win over the Philadelphia 76ers and wasn't available for Monday's overtime victory over the Washington Wizards. While Thompson doesn't have a firm return date, it doesn't appear as if the injury will keep him on the shelf too long. With that in mind, Javonte Green, coming off an 11-point, 11-rebound double-double, has streaming potential in deeper fantasy formats if he ends up getting the start.

Thu Jan 9 202514:55Ausar Thompson Probable Against Golden State
Detroit Pistons forward Ausar Thompson (illness) is on track to play on Thursday night when his Pistons host the Warriors. He missed his team's last two games due to illness, but just before that, he stepped up with 10 points, 10 rebounds, two assists, and an impressive total of six steals in 26 minutes against the Timberwolves. He got the start in that contest in place of Jaden Ivey (leg), and if Thompson is back in the starting lineup on Thursday, he'll be a strong DFS option at his salary. The 21-year-old brings plenty of multi-category production potential as he continues to ramp up after getting a late start to his second NBA season due to a blood clot issue. Thompson has at least five rebounds in six straight games and has averaged 7.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 2.2 steals despite playing just 20.6 minutes per game in those six contests.
