Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Limited in return
Thompson (ankle) ended with six points (3-5 FG), three blocks, two rebounds and one steal across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 120-112 victory over the Hawks.
Following a four-game absence due to a right ankle sprain, Thompson was cleared to play Tuesday but came off the bench for the first time all season, likely in an effort to help manage his minutes coming off the injury. While he was relatively passive on the offensive end, Thompson recorded four combined steals and blocks to bring value for fantasy managers who activated him. Thompson could eventually reclaim a starting role before long, but even if he remains a bench player, he would continue to be worthy of rostering in most formats if he's able to consistently receive around 25-to-30 minutes.
