Pistons' Thompson and Stewart Out for Season

Detroit Pistons’ forward Ausar Thompson and center Isaiah Stewart are set to miss the remainder of the 2023-24 NBA season due to separate injuries.

Thompson’s Blood Clot Concern

Ausar Thompson’s season-ending setback stems from a blood clot condition. While under the care of Pistons team physician Dr. Ramsey Shehab, Thompson will undergo treatment and conditioning to facilitate a full recovery. After the regular season, they expect the forward to resume non-contact basketball activities. Gradually increasing his workload over the summer months in preparation for a return next season.

The court will feel Thompson’s absence, as he has shown promise as a rookie forward for the Pistons. The team’s medical staff will closely monitor his development, ensuring he returns to full health before stepping back onto the court.

Stewart’s Hamstring Strain

Isaiah Stewart’s season came to an abrupt halt following a right hamstring strain sustained during a recent game against Boston. The injury, incurred in the third quarter, will sideline the center for the remainder of the campaign.

Stewart’s absence will leave a void in the Pistons’ frontcourt, as he has been a key contributor to the team’s lineup. The Pistons will miss his tenacity on defense and ability to grab rebounds as they look to finish the season strong.

Looking Ahead

Despite these setbacks, the Pistons remain focused on the well-being and rehabilitation of both players. Thompson and Stewart are integral parts of the team’s future plans, and their health and recovery are of utmost priority as the organization looks ahead to upcoming seasons.

The Pistons will need to adjust their lineup and rotation to compensate for the absence of Thompson and Stewart. It’s an opportunity for other players to step up and showcase their talents in their absence, while the injured duo focuses on their recovery and eventual return to the court.
