Detroit heads to Houston for non-conference showdown

Detroit heads to Houston for a non-conference matchup

OCTOBER 23, 2025 • Associated Press

Ruled out Wednesday Sasser (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Omari Sankofa reports.

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. With Jaden Ivey (knee) out for at least a month, Ronald Holland and Duncan Robinson should fill in some of the vacant guard minutes in the short term. Sasser's next chance to play will be Friday's game against the Rockets.

Doubtful for Wednesday Sasser is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Bulls due to right hip impingement.

Impact Sasser missed Detroit's final two preseason games and is now expected to remain sidelined for the team's regular-season opener. Caris LeVert (knee), Chaz Lanier and Daniss Jenkins are candidates for a bump in playing time due to Sasser being sidelined.

Sidelined to end preseason Sasser didn't play in Thursday's 119-98 preseason win over the Wizards.

Impact Sasser has missed two straight preseason games for undisclosed reasons. It's unclear if Sasser is even dealing with an injury, but his status is worth monitoring ahead of Opening Night, especially with Jaden Ivey (knee) slated to miss at least the first month of the campaign.

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.

Starting against Milwaukee Sasser is in the Pistons' starting lineup against the Bucks on Sunday.

Impact With Cade Cunningham (knee) sidelined, Sasser will make his first start of the season. He was a healthy scratch in the Pistons' last two games but should get an extended run in Sunday's regular-season finale.

Scores eight in loss Sasser recorded eight points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three assists and one rebound across 10 minutes during Monday's 127-117 loss to the Kings.

Impact Sasser made three shots for the third consecutive game Monday. The 24-year-old has primarily been a secondary, end-of-the-bench contributor for the Pistons this season but has shown flashes of his scoring ability. Sasser posted back-to-back 20-point performances on March 23 and 25, helping him average 11.3 points on 50.0 percent shooting in 17.4 minutes over his last seven outings.

Good to go against Toronto Sasser (suspension) is available for Friday's game versus the Raptors, Natalie Kerwin of FanDuel Sports Network Detroit reports.

Impact Sasser will return to action Friday after being suspended for Detroit's previous contest due to his role in an on-court altercation in Sunday's loss to Minnesota. Sasser should continue to function as a bench option in the Pistons' backcourt against Toronto.
