The Detroit Pistons remain unsure of Ausar Thompson's target date for return.
Last season, Thompson worked his way into a starting role off the bat. He appeared in 63 straight games before going inactive in mid-March due to a blood clot.Mar 3, 2024; Orlando, Florida, USA; Detroit Pistons forward Ausar Thompson defends Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner during the second half at KIA Center.

While Thompson hasn’t been able to scrimmage or compete in games, the Pistons have kept him as active as possible. The sophomore forward has been frequently spotted working on his three-point shot following practice. Last year, the former fifth-overall pick proved that his defensive value alone should keep him in a role on the court. In 63 games, Thompson averaged nearly one block and one steal per game. On the glass, he came down with six rebounds per outing.
