Bobi Klintman - No timetable for return Klintman (calf) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Coty M. Davis of The Detroit News reports.
Impact Klintman has officially been ruled out for Wednesday's season opener, and the team is not yet clear on a timeline for his return to play. Isaiah Stewart and Ron Holland could see more playing time until Klintman and Ausar Thompson (illness) are cleared to return.
OCTOBER 21 โ€ข ROTOWIRE
Ausar Thompson - Team option exercised The Pistons exercised the third-year team option on Thompson's (illness) rookie contract Monday, Coty M. Davis of The Detroit News reports.
Impact Thompson remains ineligible to play in any games until he's given clearance by the NBA Players' Association after dealing with blood clots last season. Thompson and the Pistons have remained confident the youngster will be able to continue his playing career soon, and this transaction is another step in the right direction. As a rookie, Thompson made 63 regular-season appearances, including 38 starts, and showcased a well-rounded game that could flourish in fantasy. However, his offensive efficiency was a disaster, posting 48/19/60 shooting splits.
OCTOBER 21 โ€ข ROTOWIRE
Marcus Sasser - Team option exercised The Pistons exercised the third-year option of Sasser's rookie contract Monday, Coty M. Davis of The Detroit News reports.
Impact Sasser came off the bench for most of the 2023-24 campaign, but he was in the Pistons' starting lineup over his last 10 regular-season outings and averaged 13.6 points, 4.6 assists, 2.0 steals and 0.9 steals over 30.9 minutes per game. Sasser and Malik Beasley are projected to be the first guards off the bench for the Pistons behind starters Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey.
OCTOBER 21 โ€ข ROTOWIRE
Jalen Duren - Team option picked up by Detroit The Pistons exercised the fourth-year option on Duren's rookie contract Monday, Coty M. Davis of The Detroit News reports.
Impact By exercising Duren's team option, the Pistons will keep the 2022 first-round pick under team control through the 2025-26 season. Duren was an every-night starter for Detroit last year, and across 61 regular-season games during the 2023-24 campaign he averaged 13.8 points on 61.9 percent shooting, 11.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 0.8 blocks over 29.1 minutes per game. Duren, Tobias Harris and Ausar Thompson (illness) are projected to be the Pistons' starting frontcourt for the start of the 2024-25 regular season.
OCTOBER 21 โ€ข ROTOWIRE
Jaden Ivey - Team option picked up The Pistons exercised the fourth-year option on Ivey's rookie contract Monday, Coty M. Davis of The Detroit News reports.
Impact Ivey is now under contract through the 2025-26 campaign. After a solid rookie season, the dynamic guard took a step back in Year 2. Nonetheless, Ivey remains a key part of Detroit's future and is expected to get another chance as Cade Cunningham's partner in the starting backcourt this season. However, newcomers Malik Beasley and Tim Hardaway could push Ivey for playing time if the youngster continues to struggle with consistency.

Cole Swider - Inks two-way deal with Pistons The Pistons have signed Swider to a two-way contract Saturday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Impact Swider spent the 2023-24 season on a two-way contract with Miami and will have the same role with the Pistons in 2024-25, so he's expected to move between The Association and the G League. The 25-year-old will add a much-needed shooting threat for a rebuilding Pistons team.
OCTOBER 19 โ€ข ROTOWIRE
Alondes Williams - Signs two-way deal with Detroit The Pistons have signed Williams to a two-way contract Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Impact Williams will add depth to the Pistons' backcourt and is expected to bounce around between the NBA roster and the G League one. Williams spent training camp with the Clippers after playing eight games for Miami and Brooklyn over last two NBA seasons.

Bobi Klintman - Limited in practice Coach J. B. Bickerstaff said Friday that Klintman is not doing anything full-contact in practice due to a left calf contusion, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact Klintman was unable to appear during the preseason due to the contusion, and his next chance to feature will come in the club's regular-season opener against the Pacers on Wednesday. The 21-year-old last played for Cairns in Australia, and he averaged 9.7 points and 4.8 rebounds across 21.7 minutes in 23 games.

2024 NBA Power Rankings: Separating all 30 teams into six tiers
Paul Reed - Grabs nine boards vs. Cleveland Reed supplied six points (3-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, two assists and two steals over 18 minutes in Wednesday's 108-92 preseason win over the Cavaliers.
Impact Reed managed to lead both teams in rebounding Wednesday as the Pistons' reserves saw extended playing time in the preseason finale. After being let go by the 76ers in early July, Reed was claimed off waivers by the Pistons to add some depth to the front court. However, he will likely begin the 2024-25 regular season as the third-string center behind starter Jalen Duren and backup Isaiah Stewart.
OCTOBER 17 โ€ข ROTOWIRE
Daniss Jenkins - Scores 13 points vs. Cavs Jenkins finished Wednesday's 108-92 preseason win over the Cavaliers with 13 points (5-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two assists, two rebounds, two steals and one block over 24 minutes.
Impact Jenkins got an extended run during the Pistons' preseason finale Wednesday as all five starters played just eight minutes each. While Jenkins wasn't the most efficient from the floor, he did manage to connect on three three-point attempts and finished second in scoring behind Simone Fontecchio (18). As a two-way player, Jenkins will spend most of the 2024-25 regular season with the Motor City Cruise in the G League.
OCTOBER 17 โ€ข ROTOWIRE
Simone Fontecchio - Leads bench in scoring Wednesday Fontecchio tallied 18 points (6-11 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 19 minutes in Wednesday's 108-92 preseason win over the Cavaliers.
Impact All of the Pistons starters played just eight minutes each Wednesday, and Fontecchio made the most of his time on the floor as he led both teams in both three-point makes and attempts. Fontecchio was traded by the Jazz to the Pistons at the trade deadline, and across his 16 regular-season games (nine starts) with Detroit, he averaged 15.4 points on 47.9 percent shooting (including 42.6 percent from three on 6.3 3PA/G), 4.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.9 steals over 30.3 minutes per game. Fontecchio agreed to a two-year, $16 million deal with the Pistons in early July and he could see extended playing time off the bench to start the 2024-25 campaign while Ausar Thompson (illness) awaits medical clearance for a blood clotting issue.

Bobi Klintman - Doesn't play Wednesday Klintman (calf/undisclosed) was inactive during Wednesday's preseason victory over Cleveland.
Impact Klintman was listed as a DNP-CD, but his absence was likely a continuation of the right calf bruise he has battled throughout preseason. Klintman's next opportunity to take the court comes Opening Night versus Indiana on Oct. 23, although his lack of momentum and reps in the offense could stunt the beginning of his rookie campaign once healthy.

Ausar Thompson - Out again Wednesday Thompson (illness) is out for Wednesday's preseason finale against Cleveland.
Impact Thompson still needs medical clearance from a blood clotting issue, and missing the entirety of preseason casts an ominous light on his upcoming second season. The 21-year-old last addressed the situation at Media Day on Sept. 30, stating that there was "no timeline right now," with the matter fully in the hands of the league and NBA Players Association, per Omari Sankofa of the Detroit Free Press. Thompson appears to be out indefinitely until further updates emerge.
