Fontecchio will not play against the Magic on Wednesday for personal reasons.

EDGE Analysis

Fontecchio has struggled over the past two games, racking up only three points, six rebounds and four assists combined. The 29-year-old averages 6.4 points and 2.8 rebounds per game, shooting 40.5 percent from the floor and 34.7 percent from beyond the arc.

Fontecchio ended with nine points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 24 minutes during Monday's 125-124 overtime win over Miami.

EDGE Analysis

With Tobias Harris (wrist) sidelined, Fontecchio tied his season high in minutes played with 24, a mark he hadn't reached since Nov. 3. After a strong finish to the 2023-24 campaign, Fontecchio has failed to live up to expectations this season, as Tim Hardaway and Malik Beasley have cut away at Fontecchio's playing time and usage.

Fontecchio registered four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two rebounds in 11 minutes during Wednesday's 130-120 loss to the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Fontecchio continues to play limited minutes off the bench, having exceeded 20 minutes only twice in the past two weeks. His production has subsequently suffered, averaging just 6.4 points and 1.2 three-pointers in 18.0 minutes per game across the first 22 games. There is a chance he lands a meaningful role if and when the Pistons opt to throw in the towel. Until then, he is likely to remain on the fringes of relevance.

Coach J.B. Bickerstaff said Fontecchio (toe) will play in Sunday's game versus the Wizards, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

After a two-game absence, the forward will make his return to game action with Tim Hardaway (head) questionable and Ausar Thompson (illness/conditioning) out. Fontecchio has appeared in 12 regular-season games, during which he has averaged 6.3 points, 3.6 rebounds and 0.9 assists across 19.1 minutes per game.

Fontecchio (toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

Fontecchio is in danger of missing his third straight contest Sunday due to a sprained left big toe. If Fontecchio is unable to suit up against Washington, Ron Holland, Malik Beasley and Wendell Moore are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Fontecchio (toe) won't play in Friday's game versus the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

Fontecchio has been downgraded from doubtful to out Friday due to a left big toe sprain. His next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Washington.

Fontecchio (toe) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game versus the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

Fontecchio is expected to miss his second straight contest Friday due to a left big toe sprain. If he's ruled out yet again, Ron Holland and Malik Beasley should continue to receive increased playing time.

Fontecchio will not play Wednesday against the Bucks due to a left toe sprain.

EDGE Analysis

Fontecchio will miss his first game of the campaign Wednesday, but it's unclear how severe this issue is. He's averaging 19.1 minutes per contest, so his absence will possibly open things up a bit for Ron Holland and Malik Beasley, especially with Jaden Ivey (toe) and Tim Hardaway (head) also sidelined.

Fontecchio registered seven points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds and one assist over 24 minutes during Sunday's 106-92 victory over the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Fontecchio couldn't get much going offensively but made up for it by pulling down a season-high eight rebounds. He's had a cold start to the season shooting the ball, both from the field and from beyond the arc. Positive regression with his percentages is likely coming.

Fontecchio provided 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT) and four rebounds over 20 minutes during Friday's 128-98 loss to the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

Despite coming off the bench Friday, Fontecchio ended up as the Pistons' third-leading scorer behind Cade Cunningham (22) and Tobias Harris (13). It was Fontecchio's highest scoring output of the regular season, though he's yet to crack 10 field-goal attempts in a game.
