Cade Cunningham - Records double-double in loss Cunningham notched 22 points (9-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, 10 assists and one block over 35 minutes during Saturday's 112-106 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Cunningham carried the Pistons in the fourth quarter, as has been the case in several other opportunities this season, but the star guard's efforts came up empty. Still, it was another strong showing for the floor general, who posted his third game with 10 or more assists over his last six appearances. He's averaging 18.8 points, 8.1 assists and 3.6 rebounds per game since the beginning of January.

Injury Report: LA Clippers vs Detroit Pistons This is a very lopsided injury report.

FEBRUARY 10 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Malachi Flynn - Won't play Saturday Flynn (trade pending) will not be available for Saturday's game against the Clippers.

Impact Flynn was acquired from the Knicks at the deadline, but it remains to be seen if he'll be able to carve out a role in Detroit. He'll have his work cut out for him, as Marcus Sasser has really emerged off the bench for the Pistons.

FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Troy Brown Jr. - Iffy for Saturday Brown (trade pending) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Clippers.

Impact The Pistons acquired Brown from Minnesota at the deadline, but he'll have a tough time competing for minutes in Detroit as they have a logjam at the forward positions.

FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Shake Milton - Questionable for Saturday Milton (trade pending) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Clippers.

Impact The Pistons moved Monte Morris in exchange for Milton and Troy Brown, both of whom are questionable to make their debuts. Milton's path to playing time won't be much easier in Detroit, as Marcus Sasser has been playing really well for the Pistons.

FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Simone Fontecchio - Available for Saturday Fontecchio (trade pending) will be available for Saturday's game against the Clippers.

Impact Fontecchio will be available for the first time since his trade from Utah. The Pistons are in desperate need of shooters, so there's a good chance that Fontecchio carves out a nice role for himself.

FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Evan Fournier - Won't play Saturday Fournier (trade pending) will not play in Saturday's game against the Clippers.

Impact The Knicks traded Fournier to the Pistons on Thursday, but it's hard to see a path to minutes for the veteran in Detroit given the current direction of the franchise.

FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Ausar Thompson - Carrying a probable tag Thompson (ankle) is probable for Saturday's game against the Clippers.

Impact Thompson has played on a tweaked ankle for two straight games, and that will likely continue on Saturday. He's expected to see a larger role for the remainder of the season with Bojan Bogdanovic no longer with the team. In his last four games, Thompson averaged 9.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.3 blocks, 1.5 steals and 1.3 turnovers.

FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Cade Cunningham - Probable for Saturday Cunningham is probable for Saturday's game against the Clippers due to left knee injury management.

Impact The Pistons have been taking a cautious approach with Cunningham, but he's expected to suit up for this one. However, the Pistons have a back-to-back set coming up on Tuesday versus the Lakers and Wednesday against the Suns, so they may look to sit him for one of those.

Marcus Sasser - First double-double Thursday Sasser recorded 17 points (6-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two rebounds, 11 assists and two steals across 38 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 128-122 overtime victory over the Tr...

Impact The rookie guard played a career high in minutes, in part due to a busy trade deadline for the Pistons that left the roster with some temporary holes, and Sasser responded with his first career double-double. His role in the backcourt has been increasing, but he still looks like the fourth option in the team's new-look rotation behind Cade Cunningham, Jaden Ivey and deadline acquisition Quentin Grimes. Sasser's averaging 13.1 points, 4.3 assists, 2.0 threes and 1.4 boards in 20.9 minutes a game over his last eight contests while shooting 54.1 percent from the floor and 47.1 percent from beyond the arc, but that could be about his ceiling for the rest of the season.

FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Cade Cunningham - Hits for 23 in Portland Cunningham amassed 23 points (8-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds and five assists in 39 minutes during Thursday's 128-122 overtime victory over the Trail Blazers.

Impact After sitting out the Pistons' game Wednesday with a sore knee, Cunningham returned and provided his best scoring effort since early January, when he dropped 30-plus points in back-to-back contests. The 2021 first overall pick is still looking to prove he can stay healthy, but Detroit's busy trade deadline shows the team's commitment to Cunningham and Jaden Ivey as its starting backcourt moving forward.

FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Jaden Ivey - Career-high seven threes in OT win Ivey registered 26 points (8-21 FG, 7-7 3Pt, 3-6 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 48 minutes during Thursday's 128-122 overtime win over the Trail Blazers.

Impact The second-year guard is enjoying his west coast trip after dropping a career-high 37 points on the Kings just one night earlier, as Thursday's seven made three-pointers were also a career best. Ivey could see his usage increase coming out of the trade deadline after Detroit shook up its backcourt, as Cade Cunningham and Quentin Grimes would seem to be his main competition for the ball for the rest of the season. Ivey's scored in double digits in seven straight games, averaging 21.7 points, 4.6 boards, 4.0 assists and 3.4 threes over that stretch while shooting 50.5 percent from the floor and a stunning 61.5 percent (24-for-39) from beyond the arc.

FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Jalen Duren - Career night in OT win Duren racked up 27 points (9-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 22 rebounds, one assist and three blocks across 37 minutes during Thursday's 128-122 overtime victory over the Trail Blazers.

Impact The 22 boards were a career high for Duren while the 27 points were a season high, as the second-year center put a shorthanded Pistons roster on his shoulders after a busy trade deadline. Duren has an impressive 26 double-doubles in 36 games this season, and he's scored in double digits in nine straight games, averaging 15.7 points, 13.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists over that stretch while shooting 65.6 percent from the floor and 85.2 percent from the free-throw line.

Knicks trade makes clear they are shooting for championship The addition of Bojan Bogdanovic and Alec Burks from the Pistons for a modest package sets the Knicks up for a deep run.
