Sasser has been ruled out for the remainder of Tuesday's game against the Raptors due to a right hip injury. He'll finish the night with eight points (3-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt) and one assist in eight minutes.
Sasser was ruled out with only a few minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, so his absence shouldn't have much of an impact. The severity of the injury is unclear at this time, and he can be considered day-to-day until more information comes to light.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Listed as questionable
Rotowire
Sasser (hip) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Toronto.
After posting 12 points (4-9 FG) and four assists in 18 minutes during Monday's loss in Oklahoma City, Sasser is dealing with a nagging left hip strain and could test out the issue during pregame warmups. Kevin Huerter and Javonte Green would be in line for an uptick in playing time if Sasser ends up sitting out.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Goes scoreless in victory
Rotowire
Sasser had one rebound and four assists in 11 minutes during Saturday's 109-87 win over the Timberwolves.
Sasser saw just 11 minutes in the victory, and he produced little outside of the assists department. Despite the continued absence of Cade Cunningham (chest), Sasser has been unable to carve out a consistent role, with Daniss Jenkins the clear beneficiary at this point. At best, Sasser can be considered for streaming purposes by anyone desperate for assists and steals.

Sasser missed three games this past week due to a right hip strain but was cleared to return against the Pelicans on Thursday, when he played 16 minutes off the bench and finished with seven points, two rebounds and one assist.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Fails to make impact in return
Rotowire
Sasser (hip) recorded seven points (3-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 16 minutes Thursday in the Pistons' 129-108 win over the Pelicans.
In his return from a three-game absence due to a right hip strain, Sasser paced the Pistons with a 33.8 percent usage rate but his inefficient shooting yielded an underwhelming line. Sasser will likely stick in the Detroit rotation for as long as Cade Cunningham (lung) remains sidelined, but he's expected to continue playing second fiddle to Daniss Jenkins, who has thrived since replacing Cunningham as the team's starting point guard.

Rotowire
Sasser (hip) is out for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
Sasser was unable to shake his doubtful tag for this contest and will sit for a third straight game. His next chance to play comes Thursday against the Pelicans. Daniss Jenkins should continue to be the primary beneficiary of Cade Cunningham's (lung) absence until Sasser is cleared to suit up.

Rotowire
Sasser (hip) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
Sasser appears headed for his third straight absence as a result of a right hip strain. Assuming he's downgraded to out before tipoff, expect Caris LeVert and Kevin Huerter to continue to see a slight uptick in playing time.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Ruled out for Monday
Rotowire
Sasser (hip) is out for Monday's matchup with the Lakers.
This will be Sasser's second straight game on the sidelines, and with Wednesday's game versus the Hawks being the first of a back-to-back set, it wouldn't be surprising to see Sasser spend at least one more game beyond Monday sidelined. Caris LeVert and Kevin Huerter will have a chance for some extra minutes with Sasser unavailable.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Ruled out Friday
Rotowire
Sasser is out for Friday's game against the Warriors due to right hip soreness.
Sasser is sitting out the second half of Detroit's back-to-back set Friday. His absence should slightly increase the streaming value of Daniss Jenkins, Caris LeVert and Duncan Robinson versus Golden State, as Cade Cunningham's (chest) injury has left a ton of usage available in Detroit.

Sasser was seen grabbing at his left lower leg before checking out of Saturday's contest with 1:19 remaining in the first half. If he's unable to return in the second half, Caris LeVert and Kevin Huerter will likely help pick up the slack the rest of the way.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Thrust into starting role
Rotowire
Sasser is in the Pistons' starting lineup against the Nets on Saturday, Eric Vincent of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Sasser has seen inconsistent playing time off the Pistons' bench all year, but he'll make his first start of the season (and first since April 13, 2025) due to the absences of Cade Cunningham (quadriceps) and Ausar Thompson (ankle). Sasser is averaging 4.8 points, 1.8 assists and 0.8 rebounds over 9.4 minutes per game this season, though he was a healthy scratch in four of Detroit's last six games.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Muted role continues
Rotowire
Sasser amassed zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two assists in 10 minutes during Friday's 118-80 victory over the Knicks.
Despite the fact that Jaden Ivey is no longer in Detroit, it appears as though Sasser is still buried on the depth chart. Detroit plans to convert the contract for Daniss Jenkins, allowing him to serve as a regular piece of the rotation. Barring injuries to other players, Sasser can be safely overlooked in most formats.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Logs 21 minutes in win
Rotowire
Sasser ended Wednesday's 112-104 win over New Orleans with nine points (3-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and four assists over 21 minutes.
Sasser played at least 20 minutes for just the third time this season, shifting up in the rotation due to the absence of Cade Cunningham (hip). Although Sasser has been able to contribute when afforded meaningful minutes, situations like that are simply too rare at this point, making him a non-factor in most fantasy formats.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Paces bench in loss
Rotowire
Sasser finished Thursday's 118-112 loss to Miami with 18 points (6-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 24 minutes.
After having recorded a DNP-CD in four straight games, Sasser has logged 20-plus minutes in back-to-back outings. The 25-year-old guard has made the most of his minutes of late, scoring at least 18 points in each of his last two appearances. He has totaled 37 points, seven assists, six rebounds and four steals across 48 minutes in that two-game stretch.
