Datome sprained his ankle in practice and is questionable for Tuesday, David Mayo of MLive.com reports.
Datome has struggled with injuries a bit this year, and when he is healthy he is not a lock to suit up anyway. Whether or not Datome plays, he will have very little fantasy value Tuesday, and will need to see some injuries to notable players to gain enough value to be worth playing in fantasy.

Datome (hamstring) was available off the bench Friday, but he was ultimately never subbed onto the court.
Datome was forced out of Wednesday's game with a slight injury to his hamstring, although Friday's availability off the bench notes that he's likely made a recovery. Despite the new found health, Datome is buried on the depth chart and struggles to see time on the hardwood even when he's totally fit.

Datome (hamstring) will not be available Wednesday night against the Wizards, David Mayo of MLive Media Group reports.
Datome was a healthy scratch in Monday's contest, and will miss yet another game, but this one appears to be due to hamstring discomfort. He'll look to return to action Friday against the Thunder.

Datome (hamstring) received another DNP on Monday, but he was available off the bench, the Detroit Free Press reports.
Datome's presence in uniform is an indication that he's over the hamstring issue that ailed him last week. Even with the injury now a thing of the past, Datome is unlikely to see much run off the bench.

Datome (hamstring) will not play in Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
Datome has drawn the dreaded "DNP Coach's Decision" tag for each of the Pistons' first three games this season. However, in wake of a hamstring issue, his absence Wednesday will be injury related. The Italian's next opportunity to play will come Friday versus Milwaukee.

Datome never made it off the bench Wednesday night against the Nuggets, despite suiting up for the game.
Datome had been dealing with knee tendinitis, but he was available for tonight's game. Datome was passed up for minutes in favor of Kyle Singler and Caron Butler. Butler didn't score a single point in 23 minutes of play, however, so Datome could find his way back in to the rotation if he's healthy.

Datome will suit up for Wednesday's opener against the Nuggets, MLive.com's David Mayo reports.
Datome had been dealing with knee tendinitis, but it won't hold him out of the 2014-15 opener. The decision will force Cartier Martin to the inactive list, but neither player is likely to make major contributions from a fantasy standpoint.

Datome sat out part of Saturday's practice with right knee patellar tendinitis, MLive's David Mayo reports.
Datome could end up being a solid role player for the Pistons this year, but for fantasy purposes, he probably won't see enough minutes to be useful in most leagues.

Datome has decided to play for the Pistons during the 2014-15 season after being pursued by FC Barcelona, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports.
Datome couldn't crack the Pistons' rotation in his debut season, appearing in just 34 contests while averaging 2.4 points and 1.4 rebounds in under seven minutes per game. Instead of heading back overseas, Datome will stay with the Pistons and try to see if he has better luck earning playing time under new head coach Stan Van Gundy.
