Marcus Sasser, the rookie guard for the Detroit Pistons, will return to his role off the bench when the team takes on the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night. This comes after Sasser drew his first career start on Monday against the Boston Celtics, filling in for the resting Cade Cunningham.
In his first taste of NBA starting action, Sasser acquitted himself well, posting a solid stat line of eight points, six assists, four rebounds, and one steal in 34 minutes of playing time.
The Detroit Pistons have been on a modest upswing recently, winning 3 of their last 4 games. However, their momentum could be disrupted as they gear up to face the formidable Miami Heat in a back-to-back set this weekend. The bigger concern for the Pistons is the potential absence of their star player, Cade Cunningham, due to injury management.
Cunningham has been on a tear lately, averaging an impressive 24.3 points, 7.
The Detroit Pistons’ playoff hopes could be dealt a significant blow as their star guard, Cade Cunningham, has been listed as questionable for their crucial game against the Miami Heat on Friday due to a lingering left knee injury.
Cunningham, the 22-year-old phenom, has been battling a nagging left knee issue that has been hampering his performance over the past few weeks. The Pistons have been cautious in managing Cunningham’s minutes and workload, but with the team fighting for a playoff spot, every game becomes increasingly crucial.
