Marcus Sasser return is quietly validating a risky Pistons bet
Marcus Sasser is proving that the Pistons had good reason to bid farewell to Dennis Schröder.
Miami Heat v Detroit Pistons b | Brian Sevald/GettyImagesThe Detroit Pistons have remained confident that Marcus Sasser can realize his potential. Injuries unfortunately robbed him of 25 games in 2024-25 and 28 in 2025-26, but he's proven when healthy that his talent is worth investing in.
With Sasser rounding into form upon his return from injury in 2025-26, the Pistons can begin to feel validated for betting on him as a better long-term option than Dennis Schröder.
