Ausar Thompson Cleared to Return Against Raptors

Thompson has been upgraded to available for Sunday's game against the Raptors, ending a five-game absence caused by a right ankle sprain. His return to the starting lineup is a significant boost for the Pistons, who value his elite wing defense. Before the injury, Thompson was averaging 11.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 2.4 steals, and 1.0 blocks over 28.1 minutes per contest across seven games.
