No changes in the starting lineup for the Pistons: Hayes, Cunningham, Thompson, Stewart and Duren.
Ivey (illness) is a late scratch. Should open more time for Sasser, who Monty had more kind words for pregame. – 2:39 PM

“He got an MRI last night and it revealed a calf strain. So there is an injury there. He’s trying to get back as quickly as possible, but he’s dealt with a toe first, and then an ankle and now a calf strain.”

Per 36, steals- block no. translate to 1.1 stl , + .9 blk, not bad for guy who has also hit 40%, 40 % and 39 % from distance over his last three seasons, respectively. 3nD guy
More on his sixers debut and beating Burks and RG3 on way over

Williams on Sasser: “I just think he’s growing as a player. He has some attributes that compliment Cade. He also has attributed that work with Killian and JI. … he can shoot, defend and facilitate. Those guys can play with a lot of players.” – 1:23 PM

Got little more clarity on Devin Booker (calf) and Bradley Beal (back).
Booker more of result of not playing for week with toe, playing a game, being out three games with ankle, playing a game and then being out again.
Making sure he’s good after feeling latest setback. #Suns – 1:08 PM

Tyrese Maxey tied his career high with 10 assists in yesterday’s win over the Suns.
Re-upping this story about how he developed his playmaking this summer — and throughout his basketball life — because he knew he might need to take over as a lead guard.
