RotowireSasser (hip) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Celtics.
Sasser is expected to miss his third consecutive contest to start the season due to a right hip issue. With the 25-year-old guard and Caris LeVert (hamstring) both likely to join Jaden Ivey (knee) on the sideline, Chaz Lanier and Daniss Jenkins are candidates for a bump in minutes.

RotowireSasser (hip) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Rockets.
Sasser appears on track to miss the first two matchups of the 2025-26 campaign while dealing with a right hip impingement. Ronald Holland and Duncan Robinson should continue to see a slight uptick in opportunities until Sasser is cleared to return.

RotowireSasser (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Omari Sankofa of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Sasser will not suit up for Detroit's regular-season opener due to a right hip impingement that held him out of the last two preseason games. With Jaden Ivey (knee) out for at least a month, Ronald Holland and Duncan Robinson should fill in some of the vacant guard minutes in the short term. Sasser's next chance to play will be Friday's game against the Rockets.

RotowireSasser didn't play in Thursday's 119-98 preseason win over the Wizards.
Sasser has missed two straight preseason games for undisclosed reasons. It's unclear if Sasser is even dealing with an injury, but his status is worth monitoring ahead of Opening Night, especially with Jaden Ivey (knee) slated to miss at least the first month of the campaign.

RotowireSasser 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.

RotowireSasser isn't in the starting five for Saturday's Game 1 against the Knicks.
Cade Cunningham will reclaim his starting spot from Sasser after sitting out Detroit's regular-season finale. Sasser has averaged 8.7 points, 2.1 assists and 1.5 rebounds in 13.9 minutes across his previous 10 appearances coming off the bench.

RotowireSasser 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 thePistons begin their playoff run Saturday against the Knicks.

RotowireSasser is in thePistons' starting lineup against the Bucks on Sunday.
With Cade Cunningham (knee) sidelined, Sasser will make his first start of the season. He was a healthy scratch in the Pistons' last two games but should get an extended run in Sunday's regular-season finale.

RotowireSasser recorded eight points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three assists and one rebound across 10 minutes during Monday's 127-117 loss to the Kings.
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 thePistons 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.

RotowireSasser (suspension) is available for Friday's game versus the Raptors, Natalie Kerwin of FanDuel Sports Network Detroit reports.
Sasser will return to action Friday after being suspended for Detroit's previous contest due to his role in an on-court altercation in Sunday's loss to Minnesota. Sasser should continue to function as a bench option in thePistons' backcourt against Toronto.

RotowireThe NBA announced Tuesday thatSasser 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 (threePistons, 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.

RotowireSasser was ejected in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Jace Frederick of St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Sasser was ejected along with Isaiah Stewart, Ron Holland, Naz Reid and Donte DiVincenzo, as a verbal altercation between Reid and Holland turned physical. Sasser will finish the game with three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two assists and one rebound across six minutes. Dennis Schroder and Daniss Jenkins will likely shoulder the workload at point guard the rest of the way.

RotowireSasser produced 27 points (9-12 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 122-96 victory over the Spurs.
Sasser led thePistons with a game- and career-high mark in points while coming off the bench Tuesday. The 24-year-old has played at least 20 minutes in each of the club's last two outings due to Cade Cunningham (calf) being sidelined. Sasser has accumulated 47 points, five rebounds, three assists and two steals across 52 total minutes in those two games. The second-year combo guard could carve out a more prominent role off the bench after this stretch considering he had averaged only seven minutes per game across seven appearances since the All-Star break entering Sunday's win over New Orleans.

Sasser had a strong outing from deep Sunday, connecting on a trio of threes while finishing as one of threePistons with 20 or more points in a winning effort. Sasser posted his second-highest scoring total of the season, finishing behind only his season high of 22 points recorded Nov. 27.
