Pistons' Ausar Thompson cleared to play after blood clot issue: Source

Detroit Pistons forward Ausar Thompson has been cleared to play after dealing with a blood clot issue, according to a source.

Thompson missed the first 10 games of the season while he was dealing with the issue. He has been practicing with the team for the past week and is expected to make his season debut on Monday against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Thompson, 21, was acquired by the Pistons in a trade with the Memphis Grizzlies in July. He is the younger brother of Golden State Warriors star Klay Thompson.

The Pistons have been struggling this season, going 2-8 in their first 10 games. Thompson's return should provide a boost to the team's offense. He is a talented scorer and playmaker who can create his own shot and make plays for others.

The Pistons are hoping that Thompson can help them turn their season around. They are currently in last place in the Eastern Conference.
