Pistons' Isaiah Stewart: Expected to play center
Stewart is expected to move from power forward to center this season, Evan Sidery of Forbes.com reports.
Stewart is projected to come off the bench behind Jalen Duren while competing for playing time with Paul Reed. Stewart normally runs at the four-spot, but with Tobias Harris and Simone Fontecchio expected to play major roles with the club, Stewart will slide over to the center position. The 23-year-old played a large role in Detroit last season, during which he averaged 10.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 0.8 blocks across a career-high 30.9 minutes per game in 46 regular-season outings.

Pistons' Isaiah Stewart: Healthy for training camp
Stewart (hamstring) practiced Wednesday, Coty M. Davis of The Detroit News reports.
Stewart enters training camp as Detroit's only big man with an NBA track record of shooting success, so a healthy start while acclimating to multiple new pieces in the surrounding lineup bodes well for the 23-year-old. Stewart appeared in only 46 regular-season games last season, the fewest of his four-year career.

Pistons president of basketball operations Trajan Langdon said Monday that Fontecchio (toe) will be ready for training camp, Coty M. Davis of The Detroit News reports.
Fontecchio underwent surgery on his left big toe in May and was always expected to be fully cleared before training camp. He had a terrific stint with the Pistons to end the 2023-24 campaign, posting averages of 15.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.9 steals in 30.2 minutes across 16 regular-season appearances.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Limited to start camp
Detroit president of basketball operations Trajan Langdon said Monday that Thompson (illness) will be limited to open training camp, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Langdon said Thompson has been cleared for conditioning, strength training and non-contact drills, but the forward is still going through a medical process with the NBA's Players Association. Thompson's rookie season was cut short in March after undergoing treatment for a blood clot, and understandably, the Pistons and the NBA are taking every precaution. Expect more updates as the preseason progresses.
