Hit with one-game ban Diallo has been suspended one game for his role in Wednesday's altercation against the Magic.

Impact Diallo will miss Friday's game in Chicago and can return to play Saturday against Minnesota. Kevin Knox and Rodney McGruder could pick up a few extra minutes while Diallo serves his suspension.

Tossed from Wednesday's win Diallo amassed 11 points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds and one assist over 14 minutes before getting ejected from Wednesday's 121-101 win over the Magic.

Impact An altercation between Moritz Wagner and Killian Hayes in the second quarter turned into a bench-clearing scrum, and Diallo was assessed two technical fouls for his actions during the scuffle. The 24-year-old had been working his way back into the Pistons' rotation, seeing double-digit minutes in four straight games with solid per-minute production, but that momentum figures to be halted by a suspension from the league.

Back in rotation Tuesday Diallo closed Tuesday's 126-111 loss to Utah with four points (2-3 FG, 0-2 FT) and one steal across three minutes.

Impact Diallo re-entered the rotation Tuesday, although it did come during garbage time. It was the first time we have seen him on the floor in almost two weeks, highlighting just how marginalized he has become of late. It is possible the Pistons no longer view him as part of their future, meaning his role is unlikely to change anytime soon.

Scores in double figures Diallo finished Sunday's 122-112 loss to the Grizzlies with 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one assist in 12 minutes.

Impact Diallo scored 10 points for the second time in four games, but he's done so only six times over 23 contests so far this season. The Kentucky product saw fewer minutes than usual Sunday, but he typically logs between 15-to-20 minutes per night off the bench behind Bojan Bogdanovic, Saddiq Bey, Alec Burks and Rodney McGruder.

Will play Friday Diallo (illness) will suit up for Friday's game against the Suns.

Impact Diallo has averaged just 15.1 minutes per game so far, however, he will be in line for significantly more minutes considering Cade Cunningham (leg), Jaden Ivey (knee), Cory Joseph (illness and Saddiq Bey (ankle) are all out Friday. Diallo has streaming appeal for as long as the Pistons remain injury plagued.

NOVEMBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable Friday Diallo is questionable for Friday's game against the Suns due to a non-COVID illness.

Impact Diallo continues to see a low-usage role in Detroit's offense. Killian Hayes (calf) and Jaden Ivey (knee) are also questionable, so the Pistons may end up especially shorthanded in the backcourt.

Set to play Friday Diallo (hip) is listed as available for Friday's game versus the Knicks.

Impact Diallo has been upgraded from questionable to available as he has recovered from his left hip soreness. Diallo should resume his role as a bench wing Friday.

Questionable Friday Diallo (hip) is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Knicks.

Impact Diallo has seen modest-but-steady minutes for the Pistons, averaging 5.1 points and 3.2 boards in 13.4 minutes across his 12 appearances. An absence could open up a little time for other wings like Rodney McGruder, Kevin Knox and Isaiah Livers.

Lackluster production vs. Atlanta Diallo amassed four points (2-8 FG), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 15 minutes during Wednesday's 118-113 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Diallo had a season-high eight field-goal attempts during Wednesday's defeat, but he shot just 25 percent from the floor en route to another limited scoring performance. The 24-year-old has played at least 14 minutes off the bench in four of his first five appearances of the season but hasn't made much of a fantasy impact.

Completes practice session Diallo (quadriceps) participated in Sunday's practice, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Diallo was sidelined for the Pistons' final two preseason games due to the quad injury, but he appears to have been held out of those contests just for precautionary reasons. After the Pistons exercised his $5.2 million team option for 2022-23 earlier this summer, Diallo looks set to open the upcoming season with a regular spot on Detroit's second unit.

OCTOBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Thursday Diallo (quadriceps) will miss Thursday's preseason game against the Grizzlies, Keith Langlois of the Pistons' official site reports.

Impact Diallo's absence is likely precautionary considering head coach Dwane Casey indicated that the 24-year-old would have played in their previous game if it were a regular season matchup. Considering Diallo could not participate in any preseason affairs, he may be eased into action early in the season.

Won't play Tuesday Diallo (quadriceps) won't play in Tuesday's preseason contest against the Thunder, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Pistons head coach Dwane Casey said Diallo is still "gimpy," but if it were a regular season game, he'd probably play. Casey's comments are certainly encouraging and suggest Diallo will be available for the team's season opener against the Magic on Oct. 19. Still, it's unclear if he'll play in Thursday's preseason finale.

Remains day-to-day Pistons head coach Dwane Casey said Monday that Diallo (quadriceps) remains day-to-day, Mike Davis of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Diallo didn't practice Sunday due to a quadriceps injury and doesn't appear to have practiced Monday either, making him unlikely to play Tuesday against the Thunder. Casey said after Sunday's practice that Diallo will have to nurse his injury, so it's unclear when the wing may return to action. Detroit has two remaining preseason games, including the aforementioned Tuesday contest, before it opens the regular season against the Magic on Oct. 19.

Doesn't practice Sunday Diallo (quadriceps) didn't practice Sunday due to a quadriceps injury, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Impact Pistons head coach Dwane Casey said Diallo will have to nurse his quadriceps injury, so it's unclear if he'll be available for the team's final two preseason contests. He'll have just over a week to clear the issue before Detroit opens the regular season against the Magic on Oct. 19.
