Cade Cunningham - Available and starting Cunningham (injury management) will play and start in Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
Impact Cunningham's status was up in the air Wednesday as he continues to nurse a lingering knee injury. While he's gotten the green light to face the Hawks, it's possible Cunningham doesn't see the minutes load he's been handed the past two games (36.5 mpg), and ends up around the 28-32 minute mark.

Marcus Sasser - Good to go Wednesday Sasser (illness) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Hawks.
Impact Sasser has been upgraded from questionable to available Wednesday after missing Detroit's previous two contests with a non-COVID illness. The rookie guard is averaging 9.6 points, 4.4 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 28.6 minutes across his last five appearances.
APRIL 3 • ROTOWIRE
Taj Gibson - Out, as expected Gibson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
Impact As expected, Gibson has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will be sidelined again by a right hamstring strain. His next chance to suit up will come Friday in Memphis.

APRIL 3 • AZCENTRAL.COM
Cade Cunningham - May rest again Cunningham is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hawks due to left knee injury management.
Impact Cunningham has scored at least 30 points in three straight games, but he may take a seat again to rest a knee injury that's bothered him during the second-half schedule. Marcus Sasser (illness) is also questionable, so Jaden Ivey may be in store for heavy usage if the other two guards are sidelined.
APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE
Taj Gibson - Considered doubtful for Wednesday Gibson (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.
Impact It appears unlikely that Gibson will be able to suit up Wednesday as he continues battling a right hamstring strain. James Wiseman, Tosan Evbuomwan and Chimezie Metu will continue leading the second unit's frontcourt rotation if Gibson is unavailable.
APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE
Marcus Sasser - Iffy for Wednesday Sasser (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
Impact Sasser has missed two straight games due to an illness and is in danger of missing a third. Cade Cunningham (knee) is also questionable. Sasser carved out a nice role before the aliment, averaging 29.5 minutes over six appearances before being sidelined.
APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE
Simone Fontecchio - Ruled out for Wednesday Fontecchio (toe) will be unavailable Wednesday versus Atlanta.
Impact Fontecchio has not played since March 17 due to a lingering left toe bruise, with Detroit posting a 1-7 record in his absence. The Italian's next opportunity to take the court comes Friday versus Memphis.
APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE
Jalen Duren - Removed from injury report Duren (tooth/mouth) carries no injury designation for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.
Impact Duren is cleared for Wednesday's contest after a collision caused him to lose a tooth in Monday's loss to Memphis. He will likely be unrestricted Wednesday.

Evan Fournier - Poor shooting in loss Fournier accumulated five points (2-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt), four assists, three rebounds, one block and one steal over 29 minutes during Monday's 110-108 loss to the Grizzlies.
Impact This season has been extremely forgettable for the 31-year-old, who appeared in only three contests for the Knicks before being traded to Detroit on Feb. 8. Since the trade, Fournier has averaged 7.1 points on 36.5 percent shooting in 18.7 minutes. Expect Fournier to receive less playing time moving forward as Marcus Sasser (illness) and Simone Fontecchio (toe) look to return.
APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE
Chimezie Metu - Scores 17 off bench Monday Metu contributed 17 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds and two blocks over 28 minutes during Monday's 110-108 loss to Memphis.
Impact Metu's performance Monday was the second time since March 20 that he scored in double digits. After completing a 10-day contract with the Pistons, the team signed Metu for the rest of the regular season. With Detroit, he's averaging 9.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.1 steals over 26.1 minutes per game.
APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE
Cade Cunningham - Efficient effort vs. Memphis Cunningham ended Monday's 110-108 loss to Memphis with 36 points (13-22 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals over 34 minutes.
Impact Cunningham's 36 points Monday marked the third game in a row that the 2021 No. 1 overall pick has scored 30 points or more. His shooting efficiency Monday marked the first time since March 9 that Cunningham shot 50.0 percent or better from the field. Since the All-Star break, Cunnigham is averaging 24.4 points on 45.5 percent shooting (including 39.6 percent from three on 6.2 3PA/G), 4.9 rebounds and 7.6 assists over 32.1 minutes per game.
APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE
James Wiseman - Gets extended playing time Monday Wiseman supplied 10 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 FT), 10 rebounds and one block in 28 minutes during Monday's 110-108 loss to the Grizzlies.
Impact Wiseman got an extended run Monday after Jalen Duren left the game in the first quarter due a dislodged tooth. Wiseman took advantage of the opportunity and he registered his sixth double-double of the season. Duren is expected to play Wednesday against the Hawks, so Wiseman will continue to come off the bench.
APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE
Jalen Duren - On track for Wednesday Duren (mouth) practiced Tuesday in advance of Wednesday's game against Atlanta, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports. Duren was forced to exit Monday's game against Memphis...
Impact Duren's desire to return to Monday's contest bodes well for his likelihood to suit up Wednesday. The 20-year-old is averaging 14.0 points, 13.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 29.0 minutes across his last three healthy appearances.
APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE
Jaylen Nowell - To join Pistons on 10-day deal The Pistons will sign Nowell to a 10-day contract, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Impact Nowell had a nine-game stint with the Grizzlies earlier this season, but has since been playing for Stockton in the G League. Given the amount of injuries in Detroit, this could be a good opportunity for Nowell to showcase his talents.
