Marcus Sasser News, Rumors, Updates - Detroit Pistons

Scores nine points in Game 7 Sasser provided nine points (3-12 FG, 3-9 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 23 minutes during Sunday's 125-94 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 7 of the Eastern Conferenc...

Impact Injuries limited Sasser to 38 regular-season games in 2025-26, but he was used quite sparingly. He averaged 12.0 minutes per contest with 5.2 points, 2.0 assists and 1.0 rebounds. With Daniss Jenkins thriving in Detroit, Sasser won't be guaranteed a rotation spot to open next season.

Muted role continues Sasser ended Sunday's 133-121 victory over Indiana with three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt) over seven minutes.

Impact With Cade Cunningham now seemingly fit and healthy, Sasser's brief run of relevance has come to an end. In fact, the ascension of Daniss Jenkins may have brought that to an end some time ago. In eight appearances over the past two weeks, Sasser has seen only 9.7 minutes per game, averaging 4.4 points and 1.1 three-pointers.

Probable for Saturday Sasser is probable for Saturday's game versus the 76ers due to a right hip strain.

Impact Sasser is expected to play through the issue, which he picked up during Tuesday's win over the Raptors. He's played single-digits minutes in consecutive games, however, so Sasser is unlikely to make for a recommended fantasy option Saturday.

Available Thursday Sasser (hip) is available for Thursday's game against Minnesota.

Questionable against Timberwolves Sasser (hip) is questionable for Thursday's game against Minnesota.

Impact Sasser carried a questionable tag heading into Tuesday's 127-116 win over the Toronto Raptors. While he was cleared to suit up for that contest, he would go on to re-aggravate his hip injury and was subsequently ruled out after only eight minutes of work. If Sasser can't play Thursday against Minnesota, Caris LeVert will likely see more action from off the bench.

Won't return Tuesday Sasser has been ruled out for the remainder of Tuesday's game against the Raptors due to a right hip injury. He'll finish the night with eight points (3-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt) and one assi...

Impact Sasser was ruled out with only a few minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, so his absence shouldn't have much of an impact. The severity of the injury is unclear at this time, and he can be considered day-to-day until more information comes to light.

Will play versus Toronto Sasser (hip) is available for Tuesday's game against Toronto.

Impact Sasser was listed as questionable heading into this meeting because of a hip injury, although he will suit up for his fourth consecutive contest. In 12 games in March, the 25-year-old has averaged 6.6 points, 1.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.1 blocks and 0.8 steals while shooting 35.9 percent from the field and 43.5 percent from deep in 18.0 minutes of work.

MARCH 31 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as questionable Sasser (hip) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Toronto.

Impact Sasser is dealing with a nagging left hip strain and could test out the issue during pregame warmups Tuesday. Kevin Huerter and Javonte Green would be in line for an uptick in playing time if Sasser ends up sitting out.

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.

MARCH 30 • DETROITJOCKCITY.COM

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.

MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE

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.

MARCH 28 • ROTOWIRE

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.

MARCH 27 • ROTOWIRE

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.

MARCH 27 • ROTOWIRE

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.

MARCH 26 • 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.

MARCH 25 • 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.
