Marcus Sasser likely will be available for the first time this season when the Detroit Pistons (18-5) host the Milwaukee Bucks, Saturday, Dec. 6, at Little Caesars Arena.
Sasser (right hip impingement) is listed as “probable” on the NBA injury report as of 4:30 p.m., ahead of the Pistons’ 7:30 home game, on the second half of a back-to-back after their 122-116 win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday.

Tobias Harris (left ankle sprain) is listed as questionable.
For the Bucks (10-14), Giannis Antetokounmpo is out at least a few weeks after suffering a right calf strain early against the Pistons on Wednesday, a 113-109 Milwaukee win.
LIFE LESSON: Detroit Pistons first-place surge brings one last lesson from superfan
Sasser, a third-year guard drafted No. 25 overall in 2023 out of Houston, was “questionable” entering Friday’s game, the first time this season his injury status had been upgraded. But he was downgraded to “out” on the team’s injury report released just before tip-off.
Sasser has missed the first 23 games of the season, but was assigned to and recalled from the Motor City Cruise this past week in preparation for his Pistons season debut.

Pistons shooting guard Duncan Robinson (right ankle sprain) returned Friday after missing two consecutive games and is unlisted on the injury report.
The Pistons are still without second-year reserve forward Bobi Klintman (left ankle sprain).
The Bucks are also without Taurean Prince (neck surgery), and 3-point shooting expert AJ Green is questionable after a shoulder contusion suffered Friday in a 116-101 loss to Philadelphia at home.
