Marcus Sasser Is Running Out of Time to Prove His Worth to Pistons Ill-timed injuries and the rise of Daniss Jenkins have made Marcus Sasser an afterthought in the Detroit Pistons' lineup plans.

Goes scoreless in victory Sasser had one rebound and four assists in 11 minutes during Saturday's 109-87 win over the Timberwolves.

Impact Sasser saw just 11 minutes in the victory, providing fantasy managers with basically no production on either end of the floor. Despite the continued absence of Cade Cunningham (chest), Sasser has been unable to carve out a consistent role, with Daniss Jenkins the clear beneficiary at this point. At best, Sasser can be considered for streaming purposes by anyone desperate for assists and steals.

Green light to face Minnesota Sasser (hip) is available for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact Sasser missed three games this past week due to a right hip strain but was cleared to return against the Pelicans on Thursday, when he played 16 minutes off the bench and finished with seven points, two rebounds and one assist. He'll continue to operate in an elevated role off the bench for as long as Cade Cunningham (chest) is sidelined.

Likely to play Saturday Sasser (hip) is probable for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact Sasser is expected to play through a right hip strain Saturday. The guard has averaged 5.3 points, 3.0 assists and 1.3 rebounds in 16.8 minutes per contest in his last four games.

Fails to make impact in return Sasser (hip) recorded seven points (3-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 16 minutes Thursday in the Pistons' 129-108 win over the Pelicans.

Impact In his return from a three-game absence due to a right hip strain, Sasser paced the Pistons with a 33.8 percent usage rate but his inefficient shooting yielded an underwhelming line. Sasser will likely stick in the Detroit rotation for as long as Cade Cunningham (lung) remains sidelined, but he's expected to continue playing second fiddle to Daniss Jenkins, who has thrived since replacing Cunningham as the team's starting point guard.

Cleared to play Thursday Sasser (hip) is available for Thursday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact No surprise here, as Sasser is overcoming a probable designation with a hip injury that cost him the past three contests. Sasser has averaged 7.5 points, 2.9 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 20.5 minutes per contest in his last eight games.

4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Expected to play Sasser (hip) is probable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Sasser is trending towards a return after spending three straight games on the shelf. He may see a modest workload behind Dannis Jenkins if he gets the green light to suit up.

Out for Wednesday Sasser (hip) is out for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Sasser was unable to shake his doubtful tag for this contest and will sit for a third straight game. His next chance to play comes Thursday against the Pelicans.

5 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to suit up vs. Atlanta Sasser (hip) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Sasser appears headed for his third straight absence as a result of a right hip strain. Assuming he's downgraded to out before tipoff, expect Caris LeVert and Kevin Huerter to continue to see a slight uptick in playing time.

Ruled out for Monday Sasser (hip) is out for Monday's matchup with the Lakers.

Impact This will be Sasser's second straight game on the sidelines, and with Wednesday's game versus the Hawks being the first of a back-to-back set, it wouldn't be surprising to see Sasser spend at least one more game on the inactive list. Caris LeVert and Kevin Huerter will have a chance for some extra minutes with Sasser unavailable.

One Piston is squandering his best opportunity to secure playoff minutes Marcus Sasser can't afford to play poorly or miss games while the Pistons are without Cade Cunningham.

MARCH 21 • PISTONPOWERED.COM

Ruled out Friday Sasser is out for Friday's game against the Warriors due to right hip soreness.

Impact Sasser is sitting out the second half of Detroit's back-to-back set Friday. His absence should slightly increase the streaming value of Daniss Jenkins, Caris LeVert and Duncan Robinson versus Golden State, as Cade Cunningham's (chest) injury has left a ton of usage available in Detroit.

MARCH 20 • ROTOWIRE

Headed to bench Sasser will come off the bench for Sunday's game in Toronto.

Impact Ausar Thompson (ankle) is back and starting Sunday, so Sasser will shift back to the second unit. As a reserve this season, Sasser owns averages of 4.8 points and 1.8 assists per contest.

Returns Saturday Sasser (lower leg) started the second half of Saturday's game against the Nets, per the broadcast.

Impact Sasser headed back to the locker room late in the second quarter after grabbing at his lower left leg. However, he has been cleared to check back in and appears to be good to go for the remainder of the game.

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

Exits to locker room Sasser exited to the locker room in the second quarter of Saturday's game against the Nets due to an apparent lower left leg issue, Hunter Patterson of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sasser was seen grabbing at his left lower leg before checking out of Saturday's contest with 1:19 remaining in the first half. If he's unable to return in the second half, Caris LeVert and Kevin Huerter will likely help pick up the slack the rest of the way.

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

Thrust into starting role Sasser is in the Pistons' starting lineup against the Nets on Saturday, Eric Vincent of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Sasser has seen inconsistent playing time off the Pistons' bench all year, but he'll make his first start of the season (and first since April 13, 2025) due to the absence of Cade Cunningham (quadriceps). Sasser is averaging 4.8 points, 1.8 assists and 0.8 rebounds over 9.4 minutes per game this season, though he was a healthy scratch in four of Detroit's last six games.

FEBRUARY 19 • DETROITJOCKCITY.COM

Muted role continues Sasser amassed zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two assists in 10 minutes during Friday's 118-80 victory over the Knicks.

Impact Despite the fact that Jaden Ivey is no longer in Detroit, it appears as though Sasser is still buried on the depth chart. Detroit plans to convert the contract for Daniss Jenkins, allowing him to serve as a regular piece of the rotation. Barring injuries to other players, Sasser can be safely overlooked in most formats.
