Hits for 19 points from bench Sasser had 19 points (5-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, five assists and two steals across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 128-106 victory over the Lakers.

Impact Sasser first served as a direct replacement for Cade Cunningham, but the team elected to play him for the entire fourth quarter, where he did most of his damage during a 20-4 run to end the game. The loss of Tobias Harris (hip) shook up the rotation, and Ausar Thompson's tepid play opened up a nice opportunity for Sasser to produce.

Muted role continues Sasser ended Saturday's 112-86 win over the Hornets with one rebound and one assist across two minutes.

Impact Sasser failed to score for the third time in four games since returning from injury, continuing to serve as nothing more than a speth piece for the Pistons. Even when playing a meaningful role, Sasser has yet to flash any real upside, meaning his value for this season is likely to be non-existent.

Makes season debut Saturday Sasser (hip) tallied zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two assists while playing the final 4:13 of Saturday's 124-112 win over the Bucks.

Impact Cleared to make his season debut after missing the Pistons' first 23 games due to a right hip impingement, Sasser wasn't part of the rotation Saturday but was able to get into the contest in garbage time after Detroit built up a 25-point advantage. Cade Cunningham, Duncan Robinson, Caris LeVert and Jaden Ivey appear to be Detroit's top four guards when the team is at full strength, but Sasser could end up getting a look in the rotation if any of those players are out for a given game. Sasser checked into Saturday's contest slightly before second-year guard Daniss Jenkins, who first got off the bench with 3:34 remaining in the fourth quarter.
