Shake Milton - Traded to Detroit Milton has been traded to the Pistons in exchange for Monte Morris, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Impact Milton will join an extremely crowded backcourt in Detroit, where he'll fight for the reserve minutes behind Cade Cunningham with the likes of Killian Hayes, Jaden Ivey, Alec Burks and Marcus Sasser. In other words, Milton will remain a fringe fantasy option in his new location.

Simone Fontecchio - Out for next two games Fontecchio (trade pending) won't play Wednesday against Sacramento or Thursday against the Trail Blazers, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Impact Fontecchio's move to the Pistons won't become official until Thursday, and the 28-year-old will have to wait at least two games before making his first appearance with his new team. Once he's able to suit up for Detroit, he'll compete for playing time with Bojan Bogdanovic (calf) and Ausar Thompson.

Simone Fontecchio - Won't debut Wednesday Fontecchio won't play Wednesday against Sacramento since his trade to the Pistons won't become official until Thursday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Impact Kevin Knox has a trade restriction until Thursday since he didn't sign with the Pistons until Nov. 8, so Fontecchio will have to wait at least a day before making his Pistons debut. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available Thursday against the Trail Blazers.

Simone Fontecchio - Sent to Detroit Fontecchio was traded from the Jazz to the Pistons on Wednesday in exchange for Kevin Knox and a 2024 second-round pick, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact Fontecchio had started in 34 of Utah's last 37 games, but he had somewhat inconsistent results, averaging 10.1 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 26.7 minutes per game. He'll be a restricted free agent following the 2023-24 season, and it's unclear whether the Pistons will be able to retain him beyond this year. It's also unclear whether Fontecchio will be able to claim a starting role in Detroit, as the team also has Bojan Bogdanovic (calf) and Ausar Thompson.

Bojan Bogdanovic - Iffy for Wednesday Bogdanovic is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Kings due to left calf soreness.
Impact Cade Cunningham (knee) is also questionable for Detroit. Wednesday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so the Pistons could be contemplating a maintenance day for the veteran sharpshooter. If Bogdanovic sits, the Pistons could turn to Ausar Thompson.
FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE
Cade Cunningham - Questionable for Wednesday Cunningham is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Kings due to left knee injury management.
Impact Wednesday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, with the Pistons slated to face Portland on Thursday. It's very possible that the Pistons are planning to sit Cunningham in one of these games as a precaution. If that happens, Jaden Ivey figures to have the ball in his hands a lot more.

Ausar Thompson - Provides offensive spark off bench Thompson logged 17 points (7-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal across 27 minutes during Sunday's 111-99 loss to the Magic.
Impact Thompson led all bench players in Sunday's contest in scoring while leading the Pistons in rebounds and blocks in a well-round performance. Thompson has tallied at least 15 points in nine games this season, adding at least seven boards in seven of those contests. Thompson posted his first double-digit scoring total since tallying a season-high 22 points Jan. 20 against Milwaukee.
FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE
Jaden Ivey - Nears 20 points to spark offense Ivey chipped in 18 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 35 minutes during Sunday's 111-99 loss to the Magic.
Impact Ivey connected on a pair of threes while adding a trio of rebounds and assists, ending with a team-high-tying scoring mark and two points shy of the 20-point mark. Ivey has finished with 18 or more points in 17 games this season, including in three of his last four outings.
FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE
Cade Cunningham - Balanced performance in defeat Cunningham registered 18 points (6-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 32 minutes during Sunday's 111-99 loss to the Magic.
Impact Cunningham entered Sunday's contest on the injury report with a knee injury, but took the court while leading all Pistons players in assists and steals to go along with a handful of rebounds and a team-high-tying point total in a losing effort. Cunningham has recorded at least 15 points and seven assists in four straight appearances, tallying 15 or more points along with at least five rebounds and five assists in 12 contests.

Cade Cunningham - Not listed on injury report Cunningham (knee) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Magic.
Impact Cunningham has shaken off a probable tag and will suit up for a third straight contest. He's played at least 30 minutes in back-to-back games, averaging 17.5 points, 9.0 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals during that stretch, so he should be full go versus Orlando.
