Klintman (ankle) won't play Saturday versus the Bucks.

Klintman (ankle) is out for Monday's game against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Monday will mark Klintman's eighth straight game on the sidelines due to the ankle injury. However, he's not a consistent part of the rotation in Detroit, so his absence from the active roster won't impact fantasy leagues.
Nov 29, 2025

ANALYSIS
Klintman will miss a sixth straight game due to a left ankle sprain. He doesn't have a clear timetable for his return to action, but even if he receives the green light in the near future, he's not expected to play a big role in the rotation any time soon.
Nov 25, 2025
Ruled out for Wednesday
Klintman (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Klintman will miss his fifth consecutive contest due to a left ankle sprain. The 22-year-old forward can be considered doubtful for Friday's game against the Magic until Detroit provides an update on his status.
Nov 17, 2025
Expected to miss multiple games
Head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said Klintman, who has already been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pacers, is expected to miss a "little bit of time" due to a sprained left ankle, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Bickerstaff's comment suggests that Klintman can be considered week-to-week due to the ankle injury. The 22-year-old forward has averaged 8.8 minutes per game in just six regular-season appearances, so his absence isn't expected to cause any significant waves in Detroit's rotation.
Nov 16, 2025
Won't suit up Monday
Klintman (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Klintman is dealing with a sprained left ankle, and his next chance to play will come Tuesday against the Hawks. The 22-year-old forward has averaged 8.8 minutes per game in six regular-season appearances, so his absence shouldn't cause any significant waves in the rotation.
Nov 16, 2025
Recalled Saturday
The Pistons recalled Klintman from the G League's Motor City Cruise on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Klintman joined Motor City for Saturday's loss to the Grand Rapids Gold, posting 11 points (4-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 17 minutes. The second-year forward has mostly served as emergency depth for the parent club thus far, averaging 2.8 points and 2.7 rebounds in 8.8 minutes per game across six regular-season outings.
Nov 15, 2025
Heads to G League
Detroit assigned Klintman to the G League's Motor City Cruise on Saturday.
ANALYSIS

Nov 11, 2025
Sticks in rotation Monday
Klintman had three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists over seven minutes during Monday's 137-135 overtime win over Washington.
ANALYSIS
Klintman suited up for the third straight game, continuing to play a minor role with a number of players injured. This has really been a best-case scenario for Klintman, and given he is still playing just limited minutes, there is no reason to think he will step into a meaningful role any time soon.
Jul 17, 2025
Leads all scorers with 20 points
Klintman produced 20 points (7-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block in 26 minutes during Thursday's Summer League 108-88 win over the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Klintman tallied a game-high 20 points Thursday, also providing a full stat line. The 2024 second-rounder is hoping to find more consistent playing time with the Pistons in 2025-26, but the additions of Caris LeVert and Duncan Robinson will likely make it difficult for Klintman to begin the season in Detroit's rotation.

ANALYSIS

Heading to Detroit
Klintman was selected by the Pistons with the No. 37 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.
ANALYSIS
The Pistons made a trade with Minnesota to acquire the No. 37 pick, which they're using to draft Klintman, a wing player who played for Cairns Taipans of the NBL last year after playing collegiately at Wake Forest. Over 23 appearances in the NBL last season, he averaged 9.7 points and 4.8 rebounds in 21.7 minutes per game.
