Thriving Pistons Hit With Another Setback vs Wizards

Thompson is far from the only player to miss action on Monday. The Pistons have been without several players over the past few games. The starting forward, Tobias Harris, has been dealing with an ankle sprain, which has kept him off the court for the past four games. Monday’s action will mark the sixth absence in a row.

Prior to going down, Harris was averaging 13.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 2.8 assists, while shooting 39 percent from the field and 28 percent from beyond the arc.

As for Thompson, he’s been having a career year in all key areas. Throughout his first 10 games, Thompson has posted averages of 13.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 3.4 assists. He’s shooting 50 percent from the field and 30 percent from beyond the arc.

Beyond the starters who played recently, the Pistons also ruled out Caris LeVert. Since the start of the season, LeVert has been dealing with a lower-body injury, which has forced him to miss several games over time. On Sunday, LeVert was a part of the action, but the Pistons ruled him out due to knee injury management.

In addition, the Pistons will be without Isaiah Stewart, who is dealing with an ankle sprain over the last game. They will also continue to miss Jaden Ivey and Marcus Sasser, who have been delayed in making their debut for the 2025-2026 season.
