Pistons' Ausar Thompson Awaiting Clearance After Blood Clot Recovery

Thompson, who missed the end of last season, is currently limited to non-contact drills as he awaits full medical clearance.

Ausar Thompson's rookie season with the Detroit Pistons ended prematurely in March due to a blood clot.
Thompson has been cleared for conditioning, strength training, and non-contact drills but not for full practice or games.
Pistons' president of basketball operations, Trajan Langdon, stated they are working with the NBA and the Players Association for Thompson's clearance.
Thompson feels great and has been progressively increasing the intensity of his workouts.
The Pistons open their season on October 23 against the Indiana Pacers, but Thompson's return date remains uncertain.
