Reed ended Sunday's 125-94 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with four points (2-5 FG), four rebounds and one assist across eight minutes.

Reed rarely saw big workloads for the Pistons and started just 11 regular-season games, but he was a very reliable reserve center. Across 65 regular-season contests, he shot 61.7 percent from the field for averages of 7.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.9 blocks and 0.9 steals in 13.9 minutes per contest.

LeVert accumulated 11 points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 17 minutes during Sunday's 125-94 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Aside from a 24-point explosion in Game 4 against the Cavaliers, LeVert had a difficult season overall in Detroit, and injuries certainly played a role. Across 60 regular-season appearances, LeVert averaged a career-low 19.2 minutes per contest with 7.4 points, 2.7 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers on 41.7 percent shooting from the field. He has one more year left on his current contract with Detroit.

Sasser provided nine points (3-12 FG, 3-9 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 23 minutes during Sunday's 125-94 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Injuries limited Sasser to 38 regular-season games in 2025-26, and even when available, he was used quite sparingly. He averaged 12.0 minutes per contest with 5.2 points, 2.0 assists and 1.0 rebounds. With Daniss Jenkins thriving in Detroit, Sasser won't be guaranteed a rotation spot to open next season.

Duren contributed seven points (3-7 FG, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one block across 26 minutes during Sunday's 125-94 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Duren's postseason struggles were well documented, but it doesn't take away from the season he had. Duren was tremendous in the regular season, posting 19.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 0.8 blocks across 70 appearances. He's expected to draw significant interest as a restricted free agent this summer.

Jenkins ended Sunday's 125-94 loss to Cleveland in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with 17 points (4-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds and five assists in 34 minutes.

Jenkins was one of the best stories to come out of Detroit this season. He began the season on a two-way contract, but his stellar play quickly earned him a standard deal. He ended up with 72 regular-season appearances, averaging 9.3 points, 3.9 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 0.9 steals in 20.2 minutes per contest. He's expected back in Detroit, with the Pistons likely to pick up his team option.

Cunningham chipped in 13 points (5-16 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, five assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Sunday's 125-94 loss to Cleveland in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

This was a disappointing end to Cunningham's playoff run, but he has plenty to hold his head high for. He led the Pistons to the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference and finished fifth in the MVP race. Across 64 regular-season contests, he averaged 23.9 points, 9.9 assists, 5.5 rebounds, 0.8 blocks and 1.4 steals on 46.1 percent shooting from the field.

Thompson contributed five points (2-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds and two blocks over 29 minutes during Sunday's 125-94 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Thompson failed to have much of an impact in the Game 7 loss, bringing to an end what was a dominant defensive performance throughout the majority of the playoffs. In 14 appearances, he averaged 3.8 combined steals and blocks, underscoring his impact on that end of the floor. However, the fact that he is a liability on the offensive end cannot be overlooked. During that 14-game span, he averaged just 8.2 points in 30.5 minutes per contest. For him to become a more well-rounded asset, Thompson will need to boost his offensive production consistently.

Harris recorded five points (0-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 23 minutes during Sunday's 125-94 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Harris turned in his worst performance of the postseason, scoring under seven points for the second straight game. While it was certainly not the way he wanted the season to end, his production for the majority of the playoffs was exemplary. Over 14 appearances, he averaged 18.1 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.4 three-pointers and 2.3 combined steals and blocks.

Merrill closed Sunday's 125-94 victory over the Pistons in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with 23 points (7-10 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal across 25 minutes.

Merrill scored at least 20 points for the first time this postseason, providing the Cavaliers with an emphatic performance off the bench. He was one of four Cleveland players to score at least 20 points, contributing to what ended up being a comfortable victory. Despite this effort, Merrill's recent form has been somewhat underwhelming, as he's averaged just 8.1 points and 1.8 three-pointers through 13 playoff games.

Mobley recorded 21 points (7-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-11 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and two steals in 36 minutes during Sunday's 125-94 win over the Pistons in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Mobley turned in yet another dominant performance, helping the Cavaliers to a comfortable victory in Game 7 against the Pistons. After an adequate regular season, Mobley appears to have saved his best for last, averaging 17.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.3 three-pointers and 3.0 combined steals and blocks thus far during the postseason. Both he and Jarrett Allen will need to be at their best when they come up against Karl-Anthony Towns and the Knicks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Tuesday in New York.
