Killian Hayes (thumb) now ruled out for Pistons Sunday

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes will not play Sunday in the team's game against the Los angeles Lakers.

What It Means:

Once Hayes was downgraded to doubtful, this was expected. It's unclear when he'll be able to return, but a thumb sprain for a point guard is especially tricky. Cory Joseph will likely earn a start in the backcourt.

In 14 games this season, Hayes has averaged 5.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 19.1 FanDuel points.
