Hayes is a new addition to Detroit's injury report, being listed with a left-shoulder contusion that will jeopardize his status for Monday. The exact severity of his injury is unknown, but the team is taking his recovery day-to-day for the time being. Jaden Ivey and Alec Burks are both primed to get more work if Hayes is ruled out ahead of tip-off against the Bucks.

Hayes was ejected on Wednesday when he was shoved into his own bench by Wagner and then he hit Wagner in the back of his head. He'll be eligible to return on January 4 against the Warriors. Alec Burks started the second half on Wednesday and should be the biggest beneficiary for the Pistons while Hayes serves his suspension. Hamidou Diallo was also given a one-game suspension.
