GAME LOG
Jalen Duren - Likely to return Thursday Duren (ankle) is probable for Thursday's matchup against the Hornets.
Impact Duren has missed the past six games due to soreness in both ankles, but the rookie should return Thursday. The move could push James Wiseman back to the bench, though the staff did mention the team added Wiseman with the intent to start him. Don't be surprised if coach Dwane Casey starts experimenting down the stretch, especially with Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) possibly being shut down for the rest of the season.

Killian Hayes - Likely to play Thursday Hayes (hand) is probable for Thursday's game versus Charlotte.
Impact Hayes is expected to play Thursday after missing the previous two games with a left hand contusion. The 21-year-old guard should reclaim his starting spot from Rodney McGruder.

Bojan Bogdanovic - May be shut down for rest of season Bogdanovic (Achilles) may be shut down for the remainder of the 2022-23 campaign, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Impact Bogdanovic has missed three straight games due to bilateral Achilles tendinopathy, and the Pistons find themselves in dead last in the East with a 15-51 record, so there's no real reason for the veteran forward to play through injury. If he's ultimately sidelined for the rest of the season, players like Isaiah Livers, Rodney McGruder and R.J. Hampton could see increased run during the fantasy playoffs.
MARCH 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Eugene Omoruyi - Surprising showing off bench Omoruyi amassed 15 points (5-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 23 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 119-117 loss to Washington.
Impact It's the first time the 26-year-old forward has scored in double digits in an NBA game since Dec. 16, when he was with the Thunder. Omoruyi is only on a 10-day contract with the Pistons right now, but if he continues to supply a steady hand in an injury-riddled frontcourt rotation, he could earn a regular job for the rest of the season.
MARCH 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
James Wiseman - Strong showing against Wizards Wiseman closed with 21 points (10-13 FG, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 119-117 loss to Washington.
Impact Making his sixth straight start, Wiseman scored more than 20 points for the second time as a Piston while recording multiple blocks for the third straight game. The 21-year-old center is starting to flash the talent that made him the second overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, and during his starting stint, he's averaging 12.7 points, 7.8 boards, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 assists while shooting 63.5 percent from the floor.
MARCH 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jaden Ivey - Double-double in Tuesday's loss Ivey accumulated 26 points (9-20 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 12 assists, five rebounds and one steal over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 119-117 loss to the Wizards.
Impact The rookie now has two straight double-doubles and three in his last five games as he continues to take over primary ballhandling duties in the Pistons' banged-up backcourt. Since the beginning of February, Ivey is averaging 16.5 points, 6.2 assists, 3.2 boards and 1.8 threes.
MARCH 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Hamidou Diallo - Most likely done for season Pistons head coach Dwane Casey acknowledged Tuesday that Diallo (ankle) likely won't be available to play again this season by the time he's re-evaluated in 3-to-4 weeks, Omari San...
Impact Even if Diallo's Grade 2 right ankle sprain checks out better than expected when he gets re-examined in early April, the 15-51 Pistons don't have any incentive to rush him back on the court before their season comes to an end April 9. The 24-year-old Diallo will finish his fifth NBA season with averages of 9.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.9 steals in 17.8 minutes per game while shooting a career-high 57.3 percent from the field and a career-worst 58.8 percent from the free-throw line across 56 appearances. Diallo is scheduled to become a free agent this summer.

Rodney McGruder - Starting vs. Wizards McGruder will start Tuesday's tilt against the Wizards, Keith Langlois of the Pistons' official site reports.
Impact Detroit is dealing with a myriad of injuries, so the veteran will get the nod in the backcourt. In four previous starts this season, McGruder averaged 4.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 21.3 minutes.
MARCH 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Pistons' Hamidou Diallo will be sidelined 3-4 weeks due to ankle sprain Diallo will miss the majority of the remainder of the regular season with a right ankle sprain.
MARCH 7, 2023 • DETROITNEWS.COM
Hamidou Diallo - Out long term with ankle sprain Detroit announced Tuesday that Diallo has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 right ankle sprain and will be re-evaluated in 3-to-4 weeks, Keith Langlois of the Pistons' official site re...
Impact Diallo departed in the fourth quarter of Monday's loss to the Trail Blazers due to the injury and was quickly ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Wizards before the MRI revealed that he'll be sidelined for a long-term basis. Given that Diallo won't be re-evaluated until late March at the earliest, he seems unlikely to get back on the court before the Pistons' season comes to a close April 9. Diallo, who is set to become a free agent this offseason, will likely finish the campaign with averages of 9.3 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.0 assists over 17.8 minutes per game across 56 appearances.
MARCH 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Cory Joseph - 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, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
James Wiseman - Swats three shots Monday Wiseman (knee) finished with 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and three blocks in 24 minutes in Monday's 110-104 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Impact Tagged as questionable with knee soreness heading into Monday's contest, Wiseman suited up and took on what appeared to be a fairly standard workload as the Pistons' starting center. He's now started in each of the Pistons' last five games, playing between 20 and 29 minutes in those contests while averaging 11.0 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.0 blocks while shooting 59 percent from the field. That level of production is enough to keep Wiseman on the radar in 12-team leagues for the time being. However, he will be a candidate to lose some minutes whenever both Isaiah Stewart (hip) and Jalen Duren (ankle) are available again.
MARCH 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Isaiah Stewart - Remains out Tuesday Stewart (hip) is sidelined for Tuesday's action against the Wizards.
Impact Stewart is part of Detroit's extensive injury report, and the big man will miss a fifth straight contest. Marvin Bagley, James Wiseman and Isaiah Livers should continue seeing extra action in the frontcourt.
MARCH 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jalen Duren - Still out Tuesday Duren (ankle) is unavailable for Tuesday's tilt against the Wizards.
Impact Sore ankles will keep the rookie shelved for a sixth straight contest. A bloated injury report for the Pistons should continue to lead to more minutes for other frontcourt options like James Wiseman, Marvin Bagley and Isaiah Livers.
MARCH 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Rodney McGruder - Not listed on injury report McGruder (ankle) isn't listed on the Pistons' injury report ahead of Tuesday's matchup versus the Wizards.
Impact McGruder sat out the first half of Detroit's back-to-back set Monday due to an ankle injury, but he'll return to action Tuesday. Killian Hayes (hand), Alec Burks (foot) and Hamidou Diallo (ankle) are all out, so McGruder, R.J. Hampton and Cory Joseph are candidates for increased roles in the backcourt against Washington.
