Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Strong contributions in win
Thompson chipped in 15 points (6-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-6 FT), seven rebounds, two steals and one assist across 28 minutes during Saturday's 122-110 win over Dallas.
Thompson didn't notch a second straight double-double but still made his presence felt Saturday, scoring in double figures while adding a pair of steals. Expected by many to take a leap this season, the talented wing is averaging 14.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.2 blocks through six games to start the 2025-26 campaign. His shooting remains a work in progress -- 54.2 percent from the free-throw line and 27.3 percent from three -- but Thompson continues to impact games with his athleticism and defense.

Thompson (illness) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's game against the Magic.
Thompson has been dealing with an illness, which threatened to sideline him. The 22-year-old forward has played well over the course of the first four games of the season, averaging 14.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.0 steals per game while shooting 52.2 percent from the field and 16.7 percent from three-point range.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Goes through shootaround
Thompson (illness) participated in Wednesday's morning shootaround, Natalie Kerwin of FanDuel Sports Network Detroit reports.
Thompson is listed as questionable on the official injury report. His participation Wednesday morning bodes well for his status against the Magic, however. Thompson has had a strong start to the campaign with 14.3 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists through four regular-season contests.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Questionable with illness
Thompson is questionable for Wednesday's game against Orlando due to an illness.
Thompson is in danger of missing his first game of the season. The 2023 first-rounder's status could hinge on how he feels after Wednesday's pregame warmups. With Caris LeVert battling a hamstring injury, Javonte Green and Ronald Holland could be candidates for an amplified role against the Magic.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Double-double against Boston
Thompson ended Sunday's 119-113 win over the Celtics with 21 points (7-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and two steals in 36 minutes.
The third-year forward set early-season highs in points and boards in his first double-double of 2025-26. Thompson, the fifth overall pick in the 2023 Draft, could be poised to break out this season, and he's showing some surprising distribution skills so far, averaging 4.7 assists along with 17.0 points, 7.7 boards and 1.3 steals in 31.0 minutes through three games.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Drops 19 points in win
Thompson totaled 19 points (9-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 24 minutes during Friday's 115-111 win over Houston.
Thompson was limited to just 24 minutes due to early foul trouble, but still managed to deliver a full stat line. Early signs are good for Thompson, coming off a season in which he was eased into things following some health concerns. Anyone who managed to grab him in drafts has to be thrilled with his efforts thus far. Look for him to continue his strong start when the Pistons host the Celtics on Sunday.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Plays well in loss
Thompson posted 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 115-111 loss to the Bulls.
The Pistons have been hyping up Thompson over the offseason, and if Wednesday was any indication, it's easy to see why. Thompson was given plenty of ball-handling responsibilities in addition to his role as Detroit's dynamo on the defensive end, and he nearly put up a triple-double as a result. And with Jaden Ivey (knee) sidelined for several weeks, it appears the Pistons are going to lean heavily on the third-year forward.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Modest performance in victory
Thompson totaled five points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block in 16 minutes during Monday's 128-112 victory over Memphis.
Thompson started, as expected, chipping in across the board during limited minutes. Coming off a season plagued by missed games, Thompson will be looking to establish himself as a key piece for the Pistons. Although his offensive talents are somewhat questionable, his ability to serve as an elite defender will be crucial if Detroit hopes to take another step forward. Look for Thompson to play close to 30 minutes per game, typically defending the opposition's best player.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Could handle ball more this season
Thompson could spend more time as a ball-handler this season, Coty M. Davis of The Detroit News reports.
Detroit's backcourt of Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey should handle the bulk of the playmaking duties this year, though it sounds like the Pistons want to utilize Thompson more frequently with the ball in his hands. Thomson holds plenty of nine-category fantasy upside in 2025-26, but he'll likely need to improve his free-throw shooting in order to become a more complete asset in those formats. Over 26 regular-season outings following last season's All-Star break, the 2023 first-rounder averaged 11.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.0 blocks per game but shot just 69.8 percent from the charity stripe.
