There is improvement in the Pistons, even if it does not yet translate into victories. After the Bucks a few days ago, it was the Cavaliers who had the hardest time pushing them back. It took a great Donovan Mitchell to bring them down in money time. A meeting at which Killian Hayes did not participate.
The Frenchman collects his first “DNP” (Did Not Play) of the season and we can expect that there will be others. Monty Williams didn't hide that its leader was now out of the rotation. “It's difficult to play with four playmakers. Sasser plays without the ball, and that allows him to be on the court. I spoke to Killian (before the match) and told him this was the path I was going to take. »
Transferred soon?
For the Pistons coach, it’s about “find fives that give opponents problems”. A priori, it is with Marcus Sasser as a free electron that Detroit will continue, and the return of Monte Morris creates a real traffic jam since Williams no longer wants to touch the Ivey-Cunningham duo to start the meetings.
As a result, the Frenchman from Detroit no longer has any playing time. In the last match, he only played nine minutes. This time, it's a “DNP”, and one week before the “trade deadline”, its future is increasingly unclear. Especially since he will be a free agent at the end of the season.
