The Monday night action between the Detroit Pistons and the Oklahoma City Thunder will miss some notable star power from one side.
The game might be a back-to-back for the Oklahoma City Thunder, but they don’t seem to be planning for a rest night for healthy key players.
Meanwhile, the Pistons are in a much different situation. The injury report is crowded, with several starters getting the night off due to minor ailments.

The veteran center Isaiah Hartenstein is listed as out due to right soleus injury management. He has played in the Thunder’s last five games, but will get the night off on Monday.
As expected, Thomas Sorber has been ruled out due to right ACL surgery recovery.
As for Jalen Williams, he is going to take the night off as part of a hamstring injury recovery plan.
From February 12 up until March 21, Williams was recovering and inactive. He returned to the court for the Thunder on March 23. He started for the last four games, but won’t be on the court for Monday’s action against the Pistons.

As expected, the Pistons are going to roll without Cade Cunningham on Monday night. The veteran guard recently suffered a collapsed lung, which has the remainder of his 2025-2026 NBA season availability up in the air.
Two All-Stars will be out for the Pistons on Monday as Jalen Duren was also ruled out. The big man has been dealing with a minor knee concern and has been a regular on the injury report.
The Pistons placed Duncan Robinson and Tobias Harris in doubt. Robinson is battling a hip injury. While he returned to the court for the Pistons’ March 28 matchup, the sharpshooter is going to miss his second game in three outings.
As for Harris, he is missing his first game since March 13. According to the Pistons’ injury report, Harris is dealing with a left hip concern. He is simply managing the setback.
The Pistons initially put some doubt on the table for Ausar Thompson’s availability, but he has been cleared for action. The veteran was questionable with right ankle injury management.
Lastly, the Pistons will be without the backup center, Isaiah Stewart. While the veteran center is progressing, the Pistons don’t have a return date set for him just yet.
The Pistons and the Thunder will tip off at 9:30 PM ET.
