Fontecchio closed Monday's 127-81 victory over the Pelicans with 23 points (9-10 FG, 5-5 3Pt), seven rebounds and one steal over 22 minutes.
Fontecchio logged a season-high 23 points in an extremely efficient performance, marking his first 20-plus-point outing on the season.

After dislocating his right finger in Sunday's win over the Hawks, Fontecchio will need to miss at least one game due to the injury.

Pistons' Simone Fontecchio: Uncertain to play Monday
Fontecchio is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers due to a right finger dislocation.
Fontecchio was unable to return to Sunday's 148-143 win over the Hawks after suffering what the Pistons labeled as a right hand injury in the second quarter. He was diagnosed with a dislocated finger following the contest, and if the issue provides any complications with his shooting or passing, Fontecchio could miss his first game since Jan. 4. If Fontecchio ends up sitting Monday, the Pistons could open up a spot in the rotation for Lindy Waters or Marcus Sasser.

Fontecchio logged eight points (2-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 132-92 win over Chicago.

Pistons' Simone Fontecchio: Drops 17 off bench Wednesday
Fontecchio finished Wednesday's 113-98 victory over the Nets with 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 24 minutes off the bench.
The 17 points were his best scoring effort since Nov. 27, when Fontecchio dropped a season-high 18 on the Grizzlies. The 29-year-old forward has played more than 20 minutes in back-to-back games after returning from a brief absence at the beginning of January to attend to a personal matter, but that increased workload has come while Ausar Thompson (illness) has been sidelined.

Pistons' Simone Fontecchio: Puts up 10 points in return
Fontecchio (personal) recorded 10 points (3-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds and one steal across 21 minutes during Monday's 118-115 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Fontecchio returned Monday after missing the last three outings due to a personal matter and led the Detroit bench in minutes. His playing time was likely boosted by the absence of Ausar Thompson, who had started and played 26 minutes in the Pistons' previous game Saturday versus the Timberwolves. If Thompson makes it back for Wednesday's game in Brooklyn, expect Fontecchio's playing time to take a hit.

After a strong finish to the 2023-24 campaign, Fontecchio has failed to live up to expectations this season, as Tim Hardaway and Malik Beasley have cut away at Fontecchio's playing time and usage.
