Misses final five playoff outings
Stewart's right knee inflammation allowed Paul Reed to receive increased playing time before the Pistons were eliminated from playoff contention. Stewart averaged 6.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.4 blocks in 19.9 minutes across 72 regular-season appearances in 2024-25. The 23-year-old big man should be healthy coming into the 2025-26 campaign.

Ends season on shelf
Ivey hasn't played since Jan. 1 due to a broken left fibula, and with Detroit now eliminated from the playoffs, he will have to wait until next season to see any game action. However, the 23-year-old guard had been reportedly progressing in his recovery and was cleared for basketball activities, so he should be healthy ahead of the 2025-26 campaign. Ivey finished the 2024-25 season averaging 17.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 29.9 minutes across 30 regular-season appearances.

Nearly fouls out in loss
Despite playing only eight minutes, Reed picked up five fouls during Thursday's season-ending loss to the Knicks. With Isaiah Stewart (knee) missing the final five games of the series, Reed operated as the team's backup center to Jalen Duren. Across the 25-year-old big man's 45 regular-season appearances this season, Reed averaged 4.1 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 9.7 minutes.
