GAME LOG
Rodney McGruder - Coming off bench Saturday McGruder is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact McGruder had started in each of Detroit's last two games, but he moves back to the bench with Isaiah Livers (ankle) returning to the lineup after a one-game absence. McGruder averages 3.1 points across 9.5 minutes per game when coming off the bench (19 appearances).
MARCH 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Marvin Bagley III - Starting alongside Wiseman Bagley will start Saturday's game against the Cavaliers, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact Saturday marks Bagley's first start since Dec. 7, and he's getting the nod alongside James Wiseman for a tough frontcourt matchup against Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley. Over the past three games, Bagley has averaged 16.7 points and 13.0 boards in 23.7 minutes.

R.J. Hampton - Set to play Saturday Hampton (illness) is not on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers.
Impact Hampton logged seven minutes off the bench and went scoreless in Wednesday's loss to the Bulls, but the illness won't prevent him from facing the Cavaliers. In any case, Hampton shouldn't play a significant role off the bench, as he has racked up just 35 total minutes in his first three appearances with Detroit.
MARCH 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Isaiah Livers - Available at Cleveland Livers (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers.
Impact Livers will return following a one-game absence. He could see extra run due to Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) being sidelined.

MARCH 4, 2023 • FREEP.COM
Isaiah Stewart - Unavailable Saturday Stewart (hip) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Cleveland.
Impact Stewart practiced Friday, but he'll still be forced to miss a third consecutive game due to his sore left hip. However, Isaiah Livers (ankle) is probable, so the Pistons should get a boost in the frontcourt against the Cavaliers.
MARCH 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
R.J. Hampton - Dealing with illness Hampton is probable for Saturday's matchup against the Cavaliers due to a non-COVID illness.
Impact Hampton has appeared in three straight games since joining the Pistons, but he's garnered an inconsistent bench role. While he's dealing with an illness, the third-year guard should still suit up Saturday and may see increased minutes with Alec Burks (foot) sidelined.
MARCH 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Isaiah Livers - Likely to play Saturday Livers (ankle) is probable for Saturday's action at Cleveland.
Impact After a one-game absence, Livers practiced Friday and should be good to go Saturday. With Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) out, Livers could see extra run. In Livers' nine February appearances before suffering the injury, he averaged 5.2 points and 2.3 rebounds in 22.6 minutes.
MARCH 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Alec Burks - Out with foot soreness Burks has been ruled out for Saturday's matchup against the Cavaliers due to left foot soreness.
Impact Burks is slated to miss his first game since Nov. 12. Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) is also sidelined, so Hamidou Diallo, Rodney McGruder, Cory Joseph and R.J. Hampton are candidates for increased roles versus Cleveland.
MARCH 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jalen Duren - Missing fourth straight Duren (ankle) is out for Saturday's game versus the Cavaliers.
Impact Bilateral ankle soreness will keep the rookie shelved for a fourth straight game. With Isaiah Stewart (hip) out as well, James Wiseman and Marvin Bagley should continue handling plenty of extra frontcourt minutes.
MARCH 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Bojan Bogdanovic - Ruled out Saturday Bogdanovic has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Cleveland due to bilateral Achilles tendinopathy.
Impact Bogdanovic posted 34 points, six rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block in 39 minutes during Wednesday's loss to Chicago, but he'll be unavailable for the second time in the last three games due to his Achilles issue. Hamidou Diallo and Isaiah Livers (ankle) should see increased run against the Cavaliers.

Isaiah Livers - Back at practice Friday Head coach Dwane Casey said Livers (ankle) practiced Friday, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Impact Livers was absent for Wednesday's loss to the Bulls due to a left ankle sprain he suffered Monday. However, he appears to be trending in the right direction and could return to action Saturday in Cleveland, but his official status for that contest won't be known until the Pistons release their next injury report.
MARCH 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jalen Duren - Practices Friday Duren (ankle) participated in Friday's practice session, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Impact Duren has missed the last three games due to bilateral ankle soreness, but his return to practice is encouraging. It's unclear whether he'll be available Saturday against Cleveland, but he seems to be trending in the right direction.
MARCH 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Isaiah Stewart - Practices Friday Head coach Dwane Casey said Stewart (hip) practiced Friday, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Impact Stewart has missed back-to-back games due to left hip soreness, but he appears to be trending in the right direction and could return to action Saturday in Cleveland. His official status for that contest remains unclear, but more clarity on his potential availability should surface when the Pistons release their next injury report.

MARCH 3, 2023 • FREEP.COM
Eugene Omoruyi - Lands with Detroit Omoruyi signed a 10-day contract with the Pistons on Friday, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Impact Omoruyi has appeared in 23 games with the Thunder this year and has averaged 4.9 points and 2.3 rebounds in 11.8 minutes per game, as he's been an inconsistent part of the team's rotation. However, it's possible he'll be able to carve out some minutes with Detroit in the near future since the team's frontcourt is currently shorthanded.
