Available Thursday
Huerter (recently traded/back) is available for Thursday's game against the Wizards, Hunter Patterson of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Huerter was acquired by Detroit in a three-team trade with Chicago and Minnesota on Tuesday and will make his Pistons debut against Washington. The veteran swingman is expected to provide a spark off the bench behind Duncan Robinson. Huerter averaged 10.9 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 23.6 minutes per game over 44 regular-season games (11 starts) for Chicago in 2025-26.

Joining Pistons in three-team deal
The Pistons are acquiring Huerter (back), Dario Saric and a first-round pick swap in a three-team trade with the Bulls and Timberwolves on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Mike Conley and Jaden Ivey will head to the Bulls.
Analysis
Huerter could play a significant role in Detroit. With Ronald Holland, Javonte Green and Caris LeVert all healthy, however, there's plenty of competition for playing time on the wing. Huerter has averaged 8.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.6 three-pointers in 22.2 minutes per tilt in his last eight games.

Questionable for Tuesday
Huerter (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis
Huerter is in jeopardy of missing his second straight contest for Chicago. If he is able to get the green light, he'd likely see more usage than normal with Josh Giddey (hamstring) still on the shelf.

Won't play Sunday
Huerter (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Heat.
Analysis
Huerter will be inactive for the first time since Dec. 12 while managing back spasms. The 27-year-old drew the start Saturday for the Bulls but has primarily worked off the bench this season, averaging 8.0 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 20.8 minutes over his past 10 appearances. Huerter's absence could open up additional reserve opportunities for Dalen Terry.

Nursing back spasms
Huerter is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Heat due to back spasms.
Analysis
Huerter got the start in Saturday's loss to Miami and finished with nine points (4-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds five assists, one steal and one block over 22 minutes, but he may have tweaked his back in the process. Coby White (calf) is returning for Sunday's rematch, and Ayo Dosunmu and Dalen Terry would be in line for more minutes if Huerter is unable to play.

Gets starting nod
Huerter will enter the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Miami.
Analysis
Josh Giddey (hamstring) and Coby White (calf) are both sidelined for the first leg of this back-to-back set, so Huerter is likely to see extended minutes and usage in this one. He's worth a long look as a short-term streaming play.
