Top Ausar Thompson News

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Grabs 15 boards, adds five steals

    Thompson posted six points (3-5 FG, 0-2 FT), 15 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and five steals over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 116-109 win over the Magic in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Thompson was a beast on the glass, pulling down a game-high 15 rebounds while adding seven combined steals and blocks. Despite inconsistent production on the offensive end, Thompson has delivered elsewhere, averaging 9.4 rebounds, 2.6 steals and 2.4 blocks through the first five games of the series. The Pistons now trail 3-2 and will head to Orlando in hopes of forcing a Game 7.

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Briefly leaves game

    Thompson briefly left Wednesday's Game 5 against the Magic and went back to the locker room, though he returned to the game moments later, Eric Vincent of ClutchPoints.com reports.

    He landed awkwardly after a block attempt and was limping on his way to the back, but he has since returned and appears to be moving around fine.

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Huge effort on defense in Game 3

    Thompson ended with 17 points (7-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-5 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, five blocks and two steals over 37 minutes during Saturday's 113-105 loss to the Magic in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    The seven combined blocks and steals represented his best total since March 20, when the third-year forward racked up seven steals and a block in a win over the Warriors. The 17 points were also Thompson's best performance on offense in the series so far, and he's averaging 12.0 points, 7.7 boards, 2.3 steals, 2.0 blocks and 1.7 assists in 30.0 minutes heading into Game 4 on Monday.

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Notches 11 points in win

    Thompson amassed 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 98-83 win over the Magic in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Thompson had his fingerprints all over this game as the Pistons leveled the series at one win apiece. Over his first two postseason appearances, he's averaging 9.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 2.5 steals in 26.5 minutes per contest.

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Blocks three shots in loss

    Thompson finished with eight points (4-5 FG), three rebounds, six assists and three blocks over 31 minutes during Monday's 123-107 loss to Orlando.

    Thompson was passive on the offensive end, a trend that has hampered him all season. However, he did manage to record at least three blocks for the second time in his past three games, continuing what has been a strong season on the defensive end. Expect him to continue in a similar role for the remainder of the season, and likely into next season as well.

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Fills stat sheet in win Thursday

    Thompson ended with seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists, three blocks and two steals in 31 minutes during Thursday's 113-108 victory over Minnesota.

    Thompson failed to score in double digits for a fourth consecutive game, but his limited role on offense doesn't limit his fantasy potential due to his ability to contribute in other areas. Thompson has had at least one tally in each of the five major categories in seven of his past 11 appearances, a stretch in which he's averaging 8.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.5 steals and 1.1 blocks per game.

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Spotted at shootaround

    Thompson (ankle) was present at Monday's shootaround, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Thompson remains questionable on the official injury report, but his presence at shootaround is a good sign for his status. If he's ultimately held out, the Pistons could lean more on Javonte Green, Ronald Holland and Kevin Huerter.

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Will play Monday

    Thompson (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Thunder.

    Thompson will shake off his questionable tag for the front end of this back-to-back set. With that in mind, he could be a candidate for a maintenance day Tuesday against the Raptors.

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Questionable to face OKC

    Thompson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Thunder.

    Thompson may be held out of the front end of this back-to-back set due to right ankle injury management. Javonte Green, Ronald Holland and Kevin Huerter would be candidates to see increased playing time if Thompson is ruled out.

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Officially in

    Thompson (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against Minnesota.

    Thompson was bumped up to probable Saturday morning, and the 22-year-old has finally gotten the green light to play. In his last five appearances, Thompson is averaging 10.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 3.2 steals and 1.4 blocks across 29.8 minutes.

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Likely to play Saturday

    Thompson (ankle) is now listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.

    Thompson was initially listed as questionable due to right ankle injury management, but the third-year pro is trending toward being available for Saturday's contest. He missed five games earlier this month due to his ankle issue, and in his seven outings since returning March 15, he has averaged 9.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.1 blocks over 28.6 minutes per game.

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Questionable for Saturday

    Thompson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.

    Thompson is questionable due to right ankle injury management after missing five straight games earlier this month due to a right ankle sprain. If the third-year forward is ultimately ruled out, Kevin Huerter and Javonte Green would be candidates to see increased playing time.

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Available to play

    Thompson (ankle) is available for Thursday's meeting with the Pelicans.

    Thompson is good to go for the second leg of a back-to-back set, so make sure you've got him active. The 23-year-old swingman has racked up 12 steals over his past three games.

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Probable for Thursday

    Thompson (ankle) is probable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans.

    Thompson is probable for ankle injury management, so this is not something his fantasy managers need to be overly concerned with. Thompson finished Wednesday's 130-129 overtime loss to the Hawks with 18 points (9-11 FG), four rebounds, five assists, one block and four steals in 37 minutes.

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Racks up five stocks in loss

    Thompson closed Wednesday's 130-129 overtime loss to the Hawks with 18 points (9-11 FG), four rebounds, five assists, one block and four steals in 37 minutes.

    Thompson, who was held to just six points on 3-for-11 shooting his last time out, was much more assertive Wednesday, and he missed only one shot through the first half of action. This was his ninth game of the season with at least four steals, and he ranks in the top five in that category with 122 total snatches on the year.

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Career-high seven steals

    Thompson finished with eight points (4-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and seven steals over 25 minutes during Friday's 115-101 victory over the Warriors.

    Thompson flexed his muscles on the defensive end, recording a career-high seven steals. Although the rest of his line was mostly underwhelming, anyone rostering Thompson is likely doing so in a bid to boost their defensive stats. While the production is exciting, the fact that he is still only playing minutes in the mid-20s is somewhat underwhelming. He remains a must-roster player, albeit in specific situations only.

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Nearly double-doubles

    Thompson ended with 10 points (3-7 FG, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 22 minutes during Thursday's 117-95 victory over Washington.

    Thompson saw a modest workload Thursday as the Pistons easily handled the Wizards. With Cade Cunningham (chest) out indefinitely, Thompson is likely to see more ball-handling responsibilities going forward, which can only be a good thing for his fantasy appeal.

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Provides full stat line in return

    Thompson totaled four points (2-8 FG, 0-2 FT), one rebound, three assists, one block and one steal over 24 minutes during Sunday's 119-108 loss to the Raptors.

    Following a four-game absence with an ankle sprain, Thompson chipped in across the board for the Pistons on Sunday. The third-year forward didn't appear to face a minutes restriction in his return. Since the All-Star break, Thompson has averaged 9.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 24.8 minutes per game over nine contests.

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Will play Sunday

    Thompson (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Raptors.

    As expected, Thompson has been upgraded from probable to available and will end a five-game absence due to a right ankle sprain. In seven outings before picking up the injury, Thompson averaged 11.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.0 blocks in 28.1 minutes per contest.
