Detroit Pistons forward Ausar Thompson has been cleared to play by the NBA's fitness panel after being sidelined for eight months due to a blood clot issue.
Thompson averaged 8.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.9 assists and nearly one block per game in his rookie season, showing significant defensive skills by being one of only three rookies to record 50 steals and 50 blocks.
Thompson is recognized as one of four rookies in Pistons history to pull off the impressive feat of 50 steals and 50 blocks, joining notable players like Andre Drummond and Grant Hill.
The Detroit Pistons currently hold a 4-7 record this season, navigating through changes under new president of basketball operations Trajan Langdon and head coach JB Bickerstaff.
