DETROIT — Detroit Pistons small forward Ausar Thompson is being held out of contact drills at the start of training camp after having a season-ending blood clot during his rookie year.
Pistons president of basketball operations Trajan Langdon said Thompson is working through a medical process with the NBA and National Basketball Players Association.
“We’re supporting him as much as possible and just waiting for the resolution,” Langdon said at the team’s media day. “We look forward to having him back.” He played his last game of the season March 9 and later that month, the team announced he would miss the rest of the year due to a blood clot.The team previously said doctors cleared Thompson to resume conditioning after last season along with non-contact basketball activities and expected him to make a full return for the 2024-25 season.
The Pistons haven’t won a playoff game since 2008, when they appeared in the Eastern Conference finals for the sixth straight year, and have been the last-place team in the Central Division the past four seasons.
