Good to go Sunday
Huerter (adductor) is available for Sunday's Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Cavaliers.
Analisi
Huerter will shed his questionable tag due to a lingering left adductor strain and suit up in Sunday's do-or-die matchup. The 27-year-old swingman has appeared in just one game during the second round of the postseason, logging three minutes in Wednesday's Game 5 loss before aggravating the adductor injury.

Questionable for Game 7
Huerter (adductor) is questionable for Sunday's Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Cavaliers.
Analisi
Huerter is on the injury report again as he continues to manage a left adductor strain that has kept him sidelined for the majority of the second round. While he was cleared to play in Game 5, he saw just three minutes of action off the bench and did not see the floor at all during Friday's Game 6 victory. Given the "all hands on deck" nature of a Game 7, the 27-year-old sharpshooter will likely be active, but he may not see the floor, as he has yet to log meaningful minutes since the first round.

Upgraded to available
Huerter (adductor) is available for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Cavaliers on Friday.
Analisi
Huerter's presence Friday helps put the Pistons at full strength for a win-or-go-home contest. The 27-year-old, who missed time earlier this series with a left adductor strain, logged just three minutes in Detroit's Game 5 loss because he aggravated the injury, per Jamal Collier of ESPN.com. Collier also noted that Huerter received an injection to gain clearance for Game 6, so the sharpshooter's workload could depend on his pain tolerance.

Questionable for Friday
Huerter (adductor) is questionable for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Cavaliers on Friday, Danny Cunningham of Sports Radio 92.3 The Fan Cleveland reports.
Analisi
Huerter managed to make his first appearance of the series Wednesday after missing time with a left adductor strain, but he logged only three minutes and recorded one assist. It's unclear how much the 27-year-old will be able to contribute if he's ultimately given the green light to suit up.

Light run in return
Huerter (adductor) recorded one assist over three minutes off the bench Wednesday in the Pistons' 117-113 overtime loss to the Cavaliers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Analisi
Available to play for the first time since Game 4 of the Pistons' first-round playoff series versus the Magic, Huerter was a fringe member of head coach J.B. Bickerstaff's rotation. The veteran wing checked into the contest with 6:17 left in the first quarter and played a brief shift before heading back to the bench, where he remained for the rest of the game. Regardless of whether Duncan Robinson (back) plays in Friday's Game 6 after sitting out Wednesday, Huerter could find himself outside of Bickerstaff's rotation entirely.

Available to play
Huerter (thigh) is available for Wednesday's Game 5 matchup of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with Cleveland.
Analisi
Duncan Robinson (back) is out, so Huerter should be in the rotation, although he may have his minutes monitored in his first game back. Huerter is averaging 1.5 points and 1.5 assists in 10.6 minutes per game this postseason.

Goes through shootaround
Huerter (thigh) participated in Wednesday's morning shootaround, Hunter Patterson of The Athletic reports.
Analisi
Huerter has missed the past seven games for Detroit, but he's listed as questionable ahead of Game 5. With this news, he's seemingly trending in the right direction with the series tied at two wins apiece.

Iffy for Game 5
Huerter (adductor) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Cavaliers.
Analisi
Huerter is in danger of missing an eighth straight game due to a left adductor strain. If the 27-year-old swingman remains sidelined, Daniss Jenkins will likely continue seeing increased playing time off the bench, especially if Caris LeVert (heel) is downgraded from questionable to out.

Won't play in Game 4
Huerter (thigh) is out for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against Cleveland on Monday.
Analisi
Huerter hasn't been able to take the court since April 27 while tending to a left thigh injury. His next chance to take the court will arrive in Game 5 on Wednesday.
