Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Dishes out eight assists in win
Thompson tallied seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists and one block across 29 minutes in Wednesday's 97-89 win over the Hornets.
Thompson wasn't very aggressive hunting his shot in this one. However, he got his teammates involved, recording a game-high mark in assists while dishing out at least eight dimes for just the fourth time in his career. The 23-year-old swingman also led the club in rebounds.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Available versus Charlotte
Thompson (ankle) is active for Wednesday's game versus the Hornets.
Thompson has been battling an ankle injury, though it won't keep him off the floor (or out of the starting lineup) for Wednesday's meeting with Charlotte. The 23-year-old has appeared in three regular-season games in 2026-27, averaging 8.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.3 steals over 26.0 minutes per contest.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Probable for Wednesday
Thompson (ankle) is probable for Wednesday against the Hornets.
Thompson returned from a one-game absence to post 11 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block across 25 minutes in Tuesday's 111-97 loss to the Knicks. He appears to have walked away without any setbacks and is expected to play the second leg of this back-to-back set.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Solid defensive contributions in loss
Thompson contributed 11 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block across 25 minutes in Tuesday's 111-97 loss to the Knicks.
Thompson returned to the starting lineup after missing Sunday's game against Philadelphia, and he delivered his usual multi-category contributions -- he had at least two tallies in four of the five major categories and had three combined steals-plus-blocks. Thompson's defensive versatility gives him considerable upside, but his minutes and offensive involvement will be important factors to monitor. He has yet to score more than 11 points in any of his three appearances this season.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Available to play Tuesday
Thompson (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against New York.
Thompson didn't suit up for Sunday's 106-93 win over the 76ers due to a sprained ankle. However, he will avoid a second consecutive absence, meaning Daniss Jenkins will likely return to the bench.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Goes through shootaround
Thompson (ankle) was a full participant at Tuesday's shootaround, Coty M. Davis of The Detroit News reports.
Thompson remains questionable on the latest injury report, but he seems to be trending in the right direction. If he's unable to give it a go, the Pistons could turn to guys like Daniss Jenkins, Javonte Green and Kevin Huerter.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Iffy for Tuesday
Thompson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against New York.
Thompson is in danger of missing a second straight game due to the right ankle sprain he sustained in Friday's win over Miami. If the 23-year-old swingman is ruled out, Daniss Jenkins, Javonte Green and Kevin Huerter would likely see additional minutes, especially if Isaiah Joe (hip) is also downgraded from questionable to out.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Ruled out vs. Philadelphia
Thompson (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the 76ers, Hunter Patterson of The Athletic reports.
Thompson wasn't active at shootaround Sunday morning, so it's not surprising to see the star forward sidelined for this game. Isaiah Joe and Javonte Green are candidates to enter the starting lineup, while Thompson will aim to return against the Knicks on Tuesday.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Not active at shootaround
Thompson (ankle) did not participate in Sunday morning's shootaround, Coty M. Davis of The Detroit News reports.
Thompson sustained a right ankle sprain in Friday's win over Miami and is trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's contest. If the 23-year-old swingman is ultimately ruled out, Javonte Green and Isaiah Joe would likely see increased playing time.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Questionable for Sunday
Thompson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Philadelphia.
Thompson sustained a right ankle sprain in the third quarter of Friday's win over Miami and did not return. If the 23-year-old forward is ultimately ruled out, Isaiah Joe and Javonte Green would likely see increased playing time.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Doesn't return Friday
Thompson exited Friday's 128-111 win over the Heat with an undisclosed injury and did not return, finishing with four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block and three turnovers across 19 minutes.
Head coach JB Bickerstaff did not provide an update on Thompson after the game, so for now, he should be considered questionable for Sunday's meeting with the 76ers. If Thompson is forced to the sidelines, there would be more minutes available for Isaiah Joe, Kevin Huerter and Ronald Holland.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Exits to locker room Friday
Thompson (undisclosed) exited to the locker room in the third quarter of Friday's game against the Heat, Zachary Weinberger of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Thompson hobbled to the bench after an awkward fall and limped to the locker room shortly thereafter. He can be considered questionable to return until further notice.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Team-high 11 rebounds in win
Thompson ended Tuesday's 121-113 victory over the Celtics with 11 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and one steal in 33 minutes.
Thompson recorded a double-double, turning in a solid first-up performance. After signing a new deal during the offseason, the hope was that his role would elevate this season. If Tuesday's effort is anything to go by, that could certainly be the case. He was one of only two Pistons players to log at least 30 minutes, a fantastic sign for anyone who took a chance on him in drafts.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Makes all five FGA vs. Toronto
Thompson recorded 12 points (5-5 FG, 2-3 FT), four assists, three rebounds and one steal over 19 minutes during Friday's 129-125 preseason win over the Raptors.
It was the second time in four preseason games that Thompson scored in double digits. Entering his fourth year in the league, the 2023 first-rounder is more of a defensive contributor for the Pistons and isn't a threat offensively on a night-to-night basis. Detroit opens its regular season Tuesday against Boston.
