Gets more run for shorthanded squad Joseph finished Monday's 110-104 loss to the Trail Blazers with 14 points (6-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and one steal in 32 minutes.

Impact Though Alec Burks moved into the starting five with Killian Hayes (hand) sitting out, Joseph still saw the bulk of the playing time in the French point guard's absence, playing nine more minutes than Burks. Hayes will remain sidelined for Tuesday's game against the Wizards, while Burks (foot) and another key rotational wing in Hamidou Diallo (ankle) will sit out the second half of the back-to-back set. Even if Joseph doesn't join the starting five Tuesday, he could once again be in store for a 30-plus-minute workload.

Afforded additional playing time Joseph finished with nine points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one block in 24 minutes during Saturday's 114-90 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Joseph played a few extra minutes in the loss, sliding up in the rotation after Killian Hayes was forced from the game due to a hand injury. The Pistons have zero incentive to push anyone at this point, meaning Joseph could even shift into the starting lineup should Hayes be forced to miss time. If that is the case, Joseph could be worth a look in deeper formats for anyone in need of assists.

Re-enters rotation Wednesday Joseph (back) played 18 minutes off the bench and generated three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three assists, one steal, one block and one rebound in Wednesday's 113-85 loss to the Ca...

Impact Joseph was cleared to return from a five-game absence due to a back injury ahead of Monday's 111-99 loss to the Celtics, but he wasn't included in the rotation. However, with head coach Dwane Casey moving Killian Hayes back to the starting five Wednesday, Joseph stepped back into a role on the second unit. Even if Casey commits to Hayes as a full-time starter the rest of the way, Joseph is unlikely to see his role dramatically expand as the season unfolds.

Not on injury report Joseph (back) isn't on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against Boston.

Impact Joseph hasn't appeared in the last five matchups but will be able to suit up against the Celtics. Since he's missed nine of Detroit's last 10 games, it wouldn't be surprising to see him face some limitations Monday.

FEBRUARY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out Saturday Joseph (back) is out Saturday against the Suns.

Impact Joseph has been dealing with injuries lately and hasn't played in consecutive contests since Dec. 31 and Jan. 2. His next chance to see the floor arrives Monday against the Celtics.

Questionable to face Suns Joseph (back) has been tabbed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Suns.

Impact Joseph has appeared in just one game since Jan. 10, but Saturday's questionable designation marks his first since that date and may suggest he'll return in the second game of the Pistons' back-to-back. The team should clarify the veteran guard's status before the 7 PM ET opening tip.

FEBRUARY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Friday Joseph (back) won't play in Friday's game versus the Hornets.

Won't play Wednesday Joseph (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.

JANUARY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out with back soreness Joseph has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup against Brooklyn due to low back soreness, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Joseph isn't part of Detroit's usual rotation and was recently dealing with a sore right knee, but he returned to action Monday and saw an expanded role with Killian Hayes (shoulder) sidelined, posting five points, seven assists and three rebounds in 18 minutes. However, the veteran point guard is now experiencing back pain and will be sidelined again, though Hayes will be available Thursday, which should make Joseph's absence inconsequential.

JANUARY 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not on injury report Joseph (knee) isn't on the injury report for Monday's game against the Bucks.

Impact Joseph has dealt with a sore right knee recently, but he'll be able to suit up against Milwaukee. He hasn't been part of the rotation when healthy recently, but it's possible he sees some playing time if Killian Hayes (shoulder) is unable to play.

JANUARY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't suit up Thursday Joseph (knee) won't take the floor during Thursday's game against the Bulls.

Impact Joseph hasn't been part of the rotation recently, even when healthy, but he will be removed from any consideration of minutes Wednesday due to a bothersome right knee. Joseph's next opportunity to don the uniform arrives Monday against Milwaukee.

JANUARY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable against Bulls Joseph is questionable for Thursday's game against the Bulls due to right knee soreness.

Impact Joseph recently missed time for personal reasons but was available for Sunday's game against the Knicks. Even if he's cleared to play through his knee injury Thursday, he isn't guaranteed to see playing time since he hasn't been a consistent part of the Pistons' rotation recently.

JANUARY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from injury report Joseph (personal) will be available for Sunday's matchup with the Knicks.

Impact Joseph did not suit up in the Pistons' last contest due to personal reasons but will be back in action Sunday. However, he has been in and out of the rotation as of late and should not be relied upon by fantasy managers.

JANUARY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Friday Joseph has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pelicans due to personal reasons.

Impact Joseph has been an inconsistent member of the Pistons' rotation recently and will be unable to suit up against New Orleans. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to the court, but his next chance to do so will be Sunday against the Knicks.

JANUARY 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nearly collects double-double Joseph produced 10 points (2-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), one rebound, eight assists and one steal in 22 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 147-116 loss to the 76ers.

Impact The veteran point guard was one of seven different Pistons to score in double digits, while his eight assists led the club and established a new season high for him. Even with Cade Cunningham (lower leg) out for the season, Joseph has had trouble gaining a foothold in Detroit's backcourt rotation, and it wouldn't be a shock if his expiring contract was moved before the trade deadline.

JANUARY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scoreless again in win Joseph closed Wednesday's 141-134 overtime win over the Hornets with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and two assists across 14 minutes.

Impact Joseph failed to score for the third time in his last seven games. Despite the Pistons coming away with the victory, the veteran point guard picked up three fouls in 14 minutes and coughed up four turnovers to just two assists.

DECEMBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Fails to score against Pelicans Joseph chipped in zero points (0-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and three assists in 21 minutes during Wednesday's 104-98 loss to New Orleans.

Impact Joseph scored zero points for the fifth time this season, although Thursday marked the most minutes he played in those contests. While the 31-year-old point guard has started two games this season, his averages of 5.0 points, 3.0 assists and 1.0 rebounds offer little fantasy value.

Another solid scoring night Joseph ended with 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and one steal over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 140-110 loss to New York.

Impact Joseph turned in a strong shooting performance, as he's now knocked down five of eight attempts from the field in each of his last two contests. The Texas product has struggled to see impactful playing time on a regular basis behind starting point guard Killian Hayes (12.4 minutes in his first 12 games of the season), but he's managed to log a few extra minutes of late with Jaden Ivey out due to a knee injury. Joseph is averaging 5.1 points and 2.8 assists over 17 matchups this year.

Ready to go Sunday Joseph (illness) will be available for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
