Impact Sasser will not suit up for Detroit's regular-season opener due to a right hip impingement that held him out of the last two preseason games.

Fails to score in nine minutes Sasser scored zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), adding just one assist in nine minutes during Thursday's preseason loss to Milwaukee.

Impact Sasser struggled despite being one of the first players off the bench, failing to score during his limited time on the floor. Despite some minor flashes throughout his career, Sasser seems destined to play a minor role on a team with title aspirations. At this point, he would need for one of Cade Cunningham or Jaden Ivey to miss time to have any shot at playing a sizeable role.

Retreating to bench Sasser isn't in the starting five for Saturday's Game 1 against the Knicks.

Impact Cade Cunningham will reclaim his starting spot from Sasser after sitting out Detroit's regular-season finale. Sasser has averaged 8.7 points, 2.1 assists and 1.5 rebounds in 13.9 minutes across his previous 10 appearances coming off the bench.

Double-double in season finale Sasser registered 18 points (7-19 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, 10 assists and two steals in 43 minutes during Sunday's 140-133 overtime loss to the Bucks.

Impact There was nothing on the line for either team in the regular-season finale, and in his first start of 2024-25, Sasser wound up being the only member of Detroit's starting five to score in double digits -- or even play more than 23 minutes -- en route to his first double-double of the campaign. Sasser was a healthy scratch for the two games prior, which may not bode well for his role when the Pistons begin their playoff run Saturday against the Knicks.
