Isaiah Livers - Remains out Sunday Livers (foot) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Suns.

Impact After undergoing surgery on his right foot early in 2021 during his final collegiate season at Michigan, Livers didn't make his NBA debut until Dec. 16, when he made a five-minute cameo off the bench in the Pistons' loss to the Pacers. Livers hasn't played since, as the rookie big man is apparently still dealing with residual soreness in his surgically repaired foot. The 23-year-old can be considered out indefinitely.

Jerami Grant - Working out, no timeline for return Head coach Dwane Casey said Tuesday that Grant (thumb) has resumed working out in the gym, but the Pistons don't have a clear timeline for him to return to the lineup, Rod Beard of...

Impact Grant hasn't played since Dec. 10 due to a sprained right thumb that required surgery. The veteran forward doesn't appear to be dealing with any setbacks in his recovery, but the Pistons aren't planning on re-evaluating him for another two weeks before potentially offering up a target date for his return. Hamidou Diallo is expected to continue to stick in a starting role for the duration of Grant's absence.

Frank Jackson - Has chance to play Sunday Jackson (COVID-19 protocols) took part in morning shootaround with the Pistons and could be available for Sunday's game against the Suns, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press...

Impact The NBA's most recent injury report still lists Jackson as out due to the league's health and safety protocols, but that appears to be an error, given that the 23-year-old cleared the protocols days ago and was ruled out ahead of the Pistons' most recent game Friday against the Raptors for conditioning purposes. Jackson's presence on the court Sunday suggests he'll have a chance to make his first appearance since Dec. 29, though he's not a lock to be included in head coach Dwane Casey's rotation.

Rodney McGruder - Out due to conditioning McGruder (not with team) is out Sunday against the Suns due to return to competition reconditioning.

Impact McGruder was sent back to Detroit after a failed trade with the Nuggets involving Bol Bol, who failed his physical. It's unclear what the team's plan for McGruder is, but he's listed as out due to conditioning concerns.

Frank Jackson - Still in protocols Jackson (COVID-19 protocols) is out Sunday against the Suns.

Impact Jackson last suited up Dec. 29, and he's still working his way through protocols. His next chance to play is Tuesday against the Warriors.

Kelly Olynyk - Upgraded to doubtful Olynyk (knee) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Suns.

Impact An upgrade to doubtful is a significant step in Olynyk's eventual return, as he'd previously been listed out for every game. The big man last played Nov. 10 before suffering a Grade 2 MCL sprain. Once he returns, he'll presumably be on a minutes limit.

Sound Up ' Detroit Pistons vs. Toronto Raptors

Cory Joseph - Solid performance in return Joseph amassed nine points (3-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and four assists across 26 minutes during Friday's 103-87 win over the Raptors.

Impact Joseph returned from a one-game absence due to a knee injury and produced a solid stat line off the bench. He played twice as many minutes as Saben Lee and looks to be solidified in the rotation as the top guard off the bench. In his first full season with Detroit, the veteran is averaging 7.5 points and 3.7 assists in 22.3 minutes per game, but barring injuries to Cade Cunningham or Killian Hayes, he likely only garners fantasy consideration in deeper leagues.

JANUARY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Killian Hayes - Grabs six boards in win Hayes amassed five points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals over 26 minutes during Friday's 103-87 win over Toronto.

Impact Friday's performance marked the second time all season that Hayes has recorded at least five points, five rebounds and five assists in the same game. The second-year point guard's playmaking ability makes him an interesting fantasy candidate, but he has failed to produce at a consistent enough level to be fantasy relevant. On the season, he's averaging just 6.3 points per game while shooting 34.3 percent from the field and 29.5 percent from three.

JANUARY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Hamidou Diallo - Scores 18 points in win Diallo ended with 18 points (9-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds, one block and two steals across 26 minutes during Friday's 103-87 win over the Raptors.

Impact Diallo and Cade Cunningham co-led the starting unit with 18 points, but Trey Lyles led the team in scoring with 21 points off the bench. Diallo has started each of the last 15 games and has averaged 15.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 2.1 steals in 29.9 minutes during that time. The 6-foot-5 wing will likely have an increased role as long as Jerami Grant (thumb) remains sidelined.

JANUARY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Trey Lyles - All-around performance off bench Lyles registered 21 points (6-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 9-10 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals in 33 minutes during Friday's 103-87 victory over Toronto.

Impact Lyles bounced back from a six-point performance during Tuesday's blowout loss to the Bulls with his second 20-plus point outing of the season. He also tied Cade Cunningham with a team-high seven boards. Starting center Isaiah Stewart played just 15 minutes and struggled offensively, which resulted in Lyles playing at least 30 minutes for just the third time this season. The 26-year-old has averaged 15.1 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.9 assists across his last nine appearances and will look to continue his strong play against the Suns on Sunday.
