Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Cleared from injury report
Thompson (groin) has been removed from the injury report in advance of Thursday's game against Boston.
Thompson is set to return to action after a two-game absence, initially due to an illness and secondarily due to groin soreness. The second-year wing is averaging 6.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.6 blocks in 15.2 minutes across his five appearances this season. He has yet to exceed 20 minutes of action in any contest as Detroit gradually acclimates him following an extended absence due to blood clotting issues.

Thompson was sidelined for Wednesday's game against the Celtics due to an illness. He doesn't appear to be under the weather anymore, but he is iffy to play Saturday due to left adductor soreness.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Ruled out for Wednesday
Thompson will be held out of Wednesday's game against Boston due to medical conditioning management.
Thompson logged 14 minutes Tuesday against the Bucks, scoring eight points with five rebounds, one assist and one block. However, he's not yet been cleared to play in both halves of back-to-back sets after suffering from blood clots in March, which resulted in him getting off to a delayed start to the season. Ron Holland and Simone Fontecchio are candidates to pick up a few minutes in Thompson's absence.

With Cade Cunningham (hip) and Tobias Harris (hip) sidelined, Thompson will make his first start of the season.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Gets 16 minutes in season debut
Thompson (illness/conditioning) made his season debut in Monday's 102-100 win over the Raptors, finishing with five points (2-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four assists and three rebounds in 16 minutes.
The second-year forward made his 2024-25 debut Monday after missing the Pistons' first 18 games of the season while awaiting medical clearance from a blood clot issue that first cropped up last March and then getting himself back into playing shape. The Pistons may have deliberately eased Thompson back in with a light workload Monday, and he also exited for a brief period of time after being kicked in the knee. Thompson could see his playing time pick up a bit in the games to come, but now that he's part of a Detroit roster that looks to be much improved from last season's 14-win outfit, a consistent 25-to-30-minute role won't necessarily be in the cards.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Available to make season debut
Thompson (illness) is available to make his season debut in Saturday's game against the Magic.
Thompson will finally make his season debut Saturday, and his return to the rotation should boost the Pistons' second-unit depth enormously. He averaged 8.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.1 steals per game as a rookie, and he should see minutes right away for a rebuilding Pistons team that can certainly use his versatility on both ends of the court.

Coach JB Bickerstaff said Monday that Thompson hasn't been able to scrimmage 5-on-5 yet, so the second-year wing will likely need a week or two to get his feet under him before he's ready for game action. However, Bickerstaff applauded Thompson's work ethic and skill set, saying Thompson fits perfectly into what the Pistons are trying to do this season. When available to play, Thompson should handle a sizable role in the rotation but will likely have to come off the bench.
