Sasser (knee) scored three points (1-8 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and added four assists, three rebounds and two steals across 25 minutes in Sunday's 113-91 loss to the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

Heading into Sunday, the rookie second-round pick had impressed this season from an efficiency standpoint with a 42.4 percent conversion rate on 2.8 three-point attempts per game, but he couldn't find his shooting touch in his return from a four-game absence due to a right knee contusion. Sasser ended up surpassing his season average of 16.3 minutes per game, but the rough shooting took away from his solid returns in the assists and steals columns. While Sasser is likely to stick in the rotation moving forward, he'll probably see his playing time get scaled back in more competitive contests and may also lose minutes if Quentin Grimes (knee) is available for Detroit's next game Tuesday in Miami.

Sasser (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Magic, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Sasser has been upgraded from probable to available and will suit up for the first time since Feb. 22. The rookie's return will likely push Malachi Flynn out of the rotation, as Sasser has played well as the primary backup behind Cade Cunningham this season.

Sasser (knee) is probable for Sunday's game against the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

Sasser missed a week with a right knee bruise but is expected to be available Sunday. The rookie's role will likely be minor, but he may push Malachi Flynn out of the rotation.

The Pistons announced Monday that Sasser (knee) will be re-evaluated in one week, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sasser had already been ruled out for a second consecutive game Monday against the Knicks on account of the right knee contusion he suffered in the fourth quarter of Thursday's 129-115 loss to the Pacers. The rookie guard was already expected to get his minutes squeezed to some degree after trade-deadline pickup Quentin Grimes made his Pistons debut in Saturday's loss to the Magic, so Sasser's absence won't necessarily open up major playing time for any of Detroit's reserve backcourt players.

Sasser (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

Sasser will miss his second consecutive game due to right knee soreness. The Pistons are acclimating to a rotation with several new additions, but Quentin Grimes, Shake Milton and Malachi Flynn will absorb the majority of his vacated workload Monday, although Milton was a healthy scratch in Saturday's loss to Orlando.

Sasser (knee) is out to face the Magic on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The absence of Sasser is not really surprising, as he was a late addition to the injury report due to knee soreness during Saturday's afternoon. Sasser's next chance to play will come against the Knicks on Monday, with Shake Milton and Malachi Flynn expected to see more minutes off the bench with Sasser out.

Sasser is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Magic due to right knee soreness.

EDGE Analysis

Sasser is in danger of missing his first game since Jan. 27 on Saturday despite being absent from the injury report all day. If Sasser is ruled out, Shake Milton, Malachi Flynn and Evan Fournier are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Sasser recorded 17 points (6-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two rebounds, 11 assists and two steals across 38 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 128-122 overtime victory over the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie guard played a career high in minutes, in part due to a busy trade deadline for the Pistons that left the roster with some temporary holes, and Sasser responded with his first career double-double. His role in the backcourt has been increasing, but he still looks like the fourth option in the team's new-look rotation behind Cade Cunningham, Jaden Ivey and deadline acquisition Quentin Grimes. Sasser's averaging 13.1 points, 4.3 assists, 2.0 threes and 1.4 boards in 20.9 minutes a game over his last eight contests while shooting 54.1 percent from the floor and 47.1 percent from beyond the arc, but that could be about his ceiling for the rest of the season.

Sasser provided 21 points (8-10 FG, 5-6 3Pt), one rebound and two assists over 20 minutes off the bench during Friday's 136-125 loss to the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Sasser's five made three-pointers tied his season high as he reached 20 points for the second time in his last five games and the fourth time in 2023-24. The 25th overall pick in the 2023 Draft has already shown he has NBA-caliber range on his shot, shooting 42.9 percent from beyond the arc this season, and Sasser's usage and fantasy value could get a boost if Alec Burks gets shipped out by the trade deadline.

Sasser registered 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two rebounds and four assists over 19 minutes during Sunday's 120-104 victory over the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

Sasser was forced to embrace a bigger role off the bench but made the most of it, and he finished with a solid stat line despite logging just 19 minutes. Sasser has seen his minutes go up and down this season, but he could be in line for a significant role when the Pistons take on the Cavaliers on Wednesday due to Detroit's lack of backcourt depth.
