Rotowire
Sasser (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Omari Sankofa of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Fails to score in nine minutes
Rotowire
Sasser scored zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), adding just one assist in nine minutes during Thursday's preseason loss to Milwaukee.
Sasser struggled despite being one of the first players off the bench, failing to score during his limited time on the floor. Despite some minor flashes throughout his career, Sasser seems destined to play a minor role on a team with title aspirations. At this point, he would need for one of Cade Cunningham or Jaden Ivey to miss time to have any shot at playing a sizeable role.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Retreating to bench
Rotowire
Sasser isn't in the starting five for Saturday's Game 1 against the Knicks.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Double-double in season finale
Rotowire
Sasser registered 18 points (7-19 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, 10 assists and two steals in 43 minutes during Sunday's 140-133 overtime loss to the Bucks.
There was nothing on the line for either team in the regular-season finale. In his first start of 2024-25, Sasser wound up being the only member of Detroit's starting five to score in double digits -- or even play more than 23 minutes -- en route to his first double-double of the campaign. Sasser was a healthy scratch for the two games prior, which may not bode well for his role when the Pistons begin their playoff run Saturday against the Knicks.

Rotowire

Sasser made three shots for the third consecutive game Monday. The 24-year-old has primarily been a secondary, end-of-the-bench contributor for the Pistons this season but has shown flashes of his scoring ability. Sasser posted back-to-back 20-point performances on March 23 and 25, helping him average 11.3 points on 50.0 percent shooting in 17.4 minutes over his last seven outings.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Suspended one game
Rotowire
The NBA announced Tuesday that Sasser has been issued a one-game suspension for his role in an on-court altercation that occurred in the second quarter of Sunday's 123-104 loss to the Timberwolves.
Sasser was one of five players (three Pistons, two Timberwolves) ejected after the incident, and all five involved will serve suspensions. Along with Sasser, Ron Holland will be suspended for Wednesday's game against the Thunder, while Isaiah Stewart will serve a two-game ban. Sasser had averaged 13.5 points, 2.5 assists, 2.5 three-pointers and 1.8 rebounds in 19.3 minutes over the Pistons' last four games, but he is likely at risk of losing his spot in the rotation once Cade Cunningham (calf) is cleared to play again.
