Moving back to bench role
Moore is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports. The Pistons will tweak their lineup for this contest and Moore will return to the bench, as Ausar Thompson has entered the lineup. Moore is averaging 4.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.7 steals per game off the bench this season.
Starting sans Ivey
Moore will start in Friday's game against the Hornets, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports. With Jaden Ivey (lower leg) sidelined, Moore will make his first start of the season. The 23-year-old has seen little playing time of late, and in 13 regular-season appearances, he has averaged 4.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 14.1 minutes per game.
Good to go for Thursday
Moore (personal) has been removed from the injury report in advance of Thursday's game against Boston. Moore has seen his career prospectus reborn in Detroit, with his 164 minutes of action already representing a career high for the third-year guard. That being said, Detroit's backcourt will be fully healthy entering Thursday's contest, so Moore is unlikely to take on a relevant role.
Not playing Saturday
Moore (personal) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against New York. Moore will miss Saturday's game while attending to a personal matter, and his next opportunity to play will be Thursday against the Celtics. Marcus Sasser and Ron Holland should see a slight uptick in playing time due to Moore's absence.
Solid outing off bench
Moore recorded seven points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 21 minutes during Thursday's 123-121 overtime loss to Charlotte. Moore is averaging just 4.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 15.1 minutes across seven appearances this season. However, the 23-year-old forward is making the most of his playing time by shooting 63.2 percent from the field. With Cade Cunningham (hip) exiting Thursday's contest early, Moore could receive increased playing time if Cunningham is forced to miss any future contests.
Productive off bench
Moore finished Sunday's 124-104 win over the Wizards with four points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals in 24 minutes. With Tim Hardaway (head) sidelined, Moore has taken advantage of some newfound minutes. He's played at least 23 minutes in three straight contests, averaging 7.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals while shooting 56.2 percent from the field. His usage rate has been very low, however.
Rare appearance in loss
Moore chipped in no counting stats in one minute during Friday's 113-101 loss to the Cavaliers. Moore cracked the rotation, albeit during the final moments of Friday's loss. While it is always nice to see fringe players spending time on the court, it is clearly a situation that can be ignored. Managers can sweep this under the rug and move on.
Traded to Detroit
The Timberwolves traded Moore and the No. 37 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft to the Pistons on Thursday in exchange for the No. 53 pick, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. Moore wasn't a major part of the Timberwolves' rotation last year, but he was productive in the G League, averaging 19.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 35.2 minutes per game over eight regular-season appearances with the Iowa Wolves. He'll likely play a similar role in Detroit.
Quick G League visit
Minnesota recalled Moore from the G League's Iowa Wolves on Friday. Moore, Leonard Miller and Josh Minott were all assigned and recalled Friday, suggesting they went through a practice with the G League squad. Moore has made three NBA appearances in March, totaling six minutes of action.
