Cory Joseph - NBA News, Rumors, & Updates

Late addition to injury report Joseph is out for Friday's game versus the Raptors due to a non-COVID illness.

Impact Joseph will miss his first game Friday since Feb. 6. With Alec Burks (foot) and Rodney McGruder (foot) also out, Jaden Ivey, Killian Hayes and R.J. Hampton will likely receive heavy workloads in the backcourt. Joseph's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Milwaukee.

Cools off in loss Thursday Joseph contributed 13 points (3-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT) and two assists over 31 minutes during Thursday's 119-100 loss to Denver.

Impact Joseph continues to play meaningful minutes, exceeding 30 for the third straight game. He has now scored double-digits in seven consecutive outings, adding a handful of assists and steals. While this was arguably his worst performance in the past two weeks, managers should continue to hold him as long as he features heavily in the rotation.

MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared for Tuesday Joseph (illness) is available for Tuesday's matchup at Washington.

Impact The shorthanded Pistons will have the veteran available despite an illness. Joseph has been reliable lately, averaging 15.2 points, 4.8 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 29.2 minutes across the past five games.

MARCH 14 • ROTOWIRE

Could sit Tuesday Joseph is listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Wizards due to a non-COVID-19-related illness.

Impact While the Pistons were shorthanded in Monday's win over the Pacers, Joseph received 32 minutes and turned in a season-high 22 points (8-14 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT) to go with five rebounds, five assists and one steal. Whether he's dealing with a legitimate illness or is a candidate to rest for the second leg of the back-to-back set is uncertain, but even if Joseph is cleared ahead of Tuesday's 7 p.m. ET opening tip, he could be in line for a smaller workload than he received Monday. If Joseph is out, he will join a lengthy list of players on the sideline, so there could be ample opportunities for R.J. Hampton and Rodney McGruder to carve out larger roles out of the backcourt.

MARCH 14 • ROTOWIRE

Leading scorer from second unit Joseph recorded a season-high 22 points (8-14 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT) with five rebounds, five assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Monday's 117-97 win over the Pacers.

Impact The veteran guard ended up leading the Pistons in scoring on a night in which seven different Detroit players scored in double digits, and three of them delivered double-doubles. Joseph has reached double digits himself in five straight contests, and with Jaden Ivey (COVID-19 protocols) and Alec Burks (foot) facing uncertain return dates, the 31-year-old could have some DFS appeal Tuesday against the Wizards.

Wiseman's double-double helps Pistons end 11-game skid

Secures season high in scoring Joseph posted 17 points (6-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals over 24 minutes during Thursday's 113-103 loss to Charlotte.

Impact Joseph led all Pistons players in scoring Thursday, posting a new season-high point total in just 24 minutes of action. Joseph, who held a previous season high of 14 points, has scored in double figures in three consecutive games.

Oubre, Rozier help Hornets deal Pistons 10th straight loss

Kelly Oubre Jr. scored 27 points and Terry Rozier had 21 points and nine assists as the Charlotte Hornets beat Detroit 113-103 and extended the Pistons' losing streak to 10 games

Gets more run for shorthanded squad Joseph finished Monday's 110-104 loss to the Trail Blazers with 14 points (6-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and one steal in 32 minutes.

Impact Though Alec Burks moved into the starting five with Killian Hayes (hand) sitting out, Joseph still saw the bulk of the playing time in the French point guard's absence, playing nine more minutes than Burks. Hayes will remain sidelined for Tuesday's game against the Wizards, while Burks (foot) and another key rotational wing in Hamidou Diallo (ankle) will sit out the second half of the back-to-back set. Even if Joseph doesn't join the starting five Tuesday, he could once again be in store for a 30-plus-minute workload.

MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE

Afforded additional playing time Joseph finished with nine points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one block in 24 minutes during Saturday's 114-90 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Joseph played a few extra minutes in the loss, sliding up in the rotation after Killian Hayes was forced from the game due to a hand injury. The Pistons have zero incentive to push anyone at this point, meaning Joseph could even shift into the starting lineup should Hayes be forced to miss time. If that is the case, Joseph could be worth a look in deeper formats for anyone in need of assists.

MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE

Re-enters rotation Wednesday Joseph (back) played 18 minutes off the bench and generated three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three assists, one steal, one block and one rebound in Wednesday's 113-85 loss to the Ca...

Impact Joseph was cleared to return from a five-game absence due to a back injury ahead of Monday's 111-99 loss to the Celtics, but he wasn't included in the rotation. However, with head coach Dwane Casey moving Killian Hayes back to the starting five Wednesday, Joseph stepped back into a role on the second unit. Even if Casey commits to Hayes as a full-time starter the rest of the way, Joseph is unlikely to see his role dramatically expand as the season unfolds.

FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Not on injury report Joseph (back) isn't on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against Boston.

Impact Joseph hasn't appeared in the last five matchups but will be able to suit up against the Celtics. Since he's missed nine of Detroit's last 10 games, it wouldn't be surprising to see him face some limitations Monday.

FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Out Saturday Joseph (back) is out Saturday against the Suns.

Impact Joseph has been dealing with injuries lately and hasn't played in consecutive contests since Dec. 31 and Jan. 2. His next chance to see the floor arrives Monday against the Celtics.

FEBRUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to face Suns Joseph (back) has been tabbed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Suns.

Impact Joseph has appeared in just one game since Jan. 10, but Saturday's questionable designation marks his first since that date and may suggest he'll return in the second game of the Pistons' back-to-back. The team should clarify the veteran guard's status before the 7 PM ET opening tip.

FEBRUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Friday Joseph (back) won't play in Friday's game versus the Hornets.

Impact Joseph's absence streak will extend to four games as he deals with low back soreness. The veteran point guard's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Phoenix.

FEBRUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Wednesday Joseph (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Joseph has already missed seven of Detroit's last eight contests due to the back issue and will be sidelined for a fourth straight Wednesday. His next chance to suit up will come Friday against the Hornets.

JANUARY 31 • ROTOWIRE

Still out Monday Joseph (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact Joseph will sit out with the back issue and will have now missed seven of the last eight games. His next chance to take the court will come Wednesday versus Washington.

JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Joseph (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Rockets.

Impact Joesph will miss a second straight game with low back soreness. Alec Burks and Hamidou Diallo will continue operating as the primary backups behind Killian Hayes and Jaden Ivey. Joseph's next chance to return will come Monday in Dallas.

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Out with back soreness Joseph has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup against Brooklyn due to low back soreness, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Joseph isn't part of Detroit's usual rotation and was recently dealing with a sore right knee, but he returned to action Monday and saw an expanded role with Killian Hayes (shoulder) sidelined, posting five points, seven assists and three rebounds in 18 minutes. However, the veteran point guard is now experiencing back pain and will be sidelined again, though Hayes will be available Thursday, which should make Joseph's absence inconsequential.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Not on injury report Joseph (knee) isn't on the injury report for Monday's game against the Bucks.

Impact Joseph has dealt with a sore right knee recently, but he'll be able to suit up against Milwaukee. He hasn't been part of the rotation when healthy recently, but it's possible he sees some playing time if Killian Hayes (shoulder) is unable to play.

JANUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Won't suit up Thursday Joseph (knee) won't take the floor during Thursday's game against the Bulls.

Impact Joseph hasn't been part of the rotation recently, even when healthy, but he will be removed from any consideration of minutes Wednesday due to a bothersome right knee. Joseph's next opportunity to don the uniform arrives Monday against Milwaukee.

JANUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable against Bulls Joseph is questionable for Thursday's game against the Bulls due to right knee soreness.

Impact Joseph recently missed time for personal reasons but was available for Sunday's game against the Knicks. Even if he's cleared to play through his knee injury Thursday, he isn't guaranteed to see playing time since he hasn't been a consistent part of the Pistons' rotation recently.

JANUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from injury report Joseph (personal) will be available for Sunday's matchup with the Knicks.

Impact Joseph did not suit up in the Pistons' last contest due to personal reasons but will be back in action Sunday. However, he has been in and out of the rotation as of late and should not be relied upon by fantasy managers.

JANUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Friday Joseph has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pelicans due to personal reasons.

Impact Joseph has been an inconsistent member of the Pistons' rotation recently and will be unable to suit up against New Orleans. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to the court, but his next chance to do so will be Sunday against the Knicks.

JANUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Nearly collects double-double Joseph produced 10 points (2-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), one rebound, eight assists and one steal in 22 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 147-116 loss to the 76ers.

Impact The veteran point guard was one of seven different Pistons to score in double digits, while his eight assists led the club and established a new season high for him. Even with Cade Cunningham (lower leg) out for the season, Joseph has had trouble gaining a foothold in Detroit's backcourt rotation, and it wouldn't be a shock if his expiring contract was moved before the trade deadline.
