Detroit Pistons rookie small forward Ausar Thompson will miss the remainder of the season while receiving treatment for a blood clot.
He’s expected to make a full return next season.
“Under the guidance of Pistons team physician Dr. Ramsey Shehab of Henry Ford Health, Thompson has been cleared to resume conditioning and will begin non-contact basketball activities at the conclusion of the regular season with a gradual ramp up over the summer months in preparation for a full return next season,” a Detroit Pistons medical update read.

From the Detroit Free Press:
Thompson, who was selected by the Pistons No. 5 overall in the 2023 draft, has been out of the lineup since March 9 with what was originally described as asthma before it was changed to “illness; medical,” missing five games. He will miss the final 14 games of the season after being one of the bright spots in a miserable Pistons season that’s resulted in 12 wins through 68 games so far.
