Fontecchio registered seven points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds and one assist over 24 minutes during Sunday's 106-92 victory over the Nets. Fontecchio couldn't get much going offensively but made up for it by pulling down a season-high eight rebounds. He's had a cold start to the season shooting the ball, both from the field and from beyond the arc. Positive regression with his percentages is likely coming.

Fontecchio provided 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT) and four rebounds over 20 minutes during Friday's 128-98 loss to the Knicks. Despite coming off the bench Friday, Fontecchio ended up as the Pistons' third-leading scorer behind Cade Cunningham (22) and Tobias Harris (13). It was Fontecchio's highest scoring output of the regular season, though he's yet to crack 10 field-goal attempts in a game.

Fontecchio logged two points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 17 minutes during Wednesday's 105-95 victory over the 76ers. Fontecchio continues to be used sparingly, logging just 17 minutes in the victory. He was seen as a potential last-round flier coming into the season, but opinions quickly changed when it became clear he would be used in a limited role. At this stage, Fontecchio would likely need a couple of key pieces sidelined to have any shot at being fantasy-relevant.

Fontecchio tallied 18 points (6-11 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 19 minutes in Wednesday's 108-92 preseason win over the Cavaliers. Each of the Pistons starters played just eight minutes Wednesday, and Fontecchio made the most of his time on the floor as he led both teams in both three-point makes and attempts. Fontecchio was traded by the Jazz to the Pistons at the trade deadline, and across his 16 regular-season games (nine starts) with Detroit, he averaged 15.4 points on 47.9 percent shooting (including 42.6 percent from three on 6.3 3PA/G), 4.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.9 steals over 30.3 minutes per game. Fontecchio agreed to a two-year, $16 million deal with the Pistons in early July, and he could see extended playing time off the bench to start the 2024-25 campaign while Ausar Thompson (illness) awaits medical clearance for a blood clotting issue.

Fontecchio will come off the bench in Friday's exhibition contest in Phoenix, Shane Young of Forbes.com reports. Fonteccio started at power forward in the Pistons' first two preseason games with Tobias Harris (illness) sidelined. The latter is returning Friday, so Fonteccio will return to his projected role as a depth frontcourt presence.
