Detroit Pistons guard/forward Ausar Thompson was hoping to play in every game during his rookie year before getting shut down with a blood clot this past March.
(via Year One: Ausar Thompson & Marcus Sasser | Pistons Original Documentary):
“I definitely want to be the Iron Man type of player. I was mad this year that I couldn’t be it because I was on pace for it, and then it just happened so quickly. But I want to play every game if I can play every game.”
