Cunningham shared lots of personal insight on the direction of the franchise. That future<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pistons-news-cade-cunningham-226-million-max-contract-extension"> includes a five-year agreement worth $224 million</a> with the 2021 No. 1 overall pick. Cunningham <a href="https://x.com/IAmEricVincent/status/1840871699849637997" rel="noopener">clarified his desire</a> to remain with the Pistons for the foreseeable future.</p><p>“I already wanted to stay here. It was just about us agreeing to the same terms,” Cunningham confirmed during Media Day. “I think it was already a done deal in my head as far as where I wanted to be. I knew I wanted to be here, it was just going through all of the business things that had to be done and I was just waiting to be able to sign my name.”</p><p>Cunningham is entering his fourth year in Detroit as one of the building blocks for the franchise. He posted career-high numbers last season despite the team’s struggles and returning from a season-ending shin injury in 2022. Cunningham averaged 22.7 points and 7.5 assists through 64 games as the Pistons starting point guard.</p><p>Detroit’s President of Basketball Operations Trajan Langdon also reflected on the priority of re-signing Cunningham. He also <a href="https://x.com/omarisankofa/status/1840795232486482205" rel="noopener">shared his vision</a> of what success could look like this season from the 6-7 star guard.</p><p>“It’s growing into a leader, he wants to lead and we’re fortunate he wants to be here as well,” Langon explained. “A young man of his caliber embodies what we want to be as a franchise. The re-signing of him we’re all very excited about.”</p><h2>Pistons veterans embracing Cade Cunningham</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Cade-Cunningham.jpg"><figcaption>Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>One of the biggest offseason priorities for Langdon was acquiring veteran talent to complement Detroit’s young core. The Pistons’ new front-office leader wasted little time adding four new veterans from playoff rosters. One of those significant names returning to Detroit is forward <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pistons-news-tobias-harris-reuniting-52-million-contract">Tobias Harris who agreed to a two-year deal </a>in NBA Free Agency.</p><p>After playing with the Philadelphia 76ers since 2018, Harris is embracing his new role as the experienced leader on a rebuilding Pistons roster. A big part of that is centered around the development of Detroit’s superstar guard. Harris spoke on <a href="https://x.com/KuKhahil/status/1840833902983700804" rel="noopener">his impression of Cunningham</a> and what his future can bring to the team.</p><p>“I’ve always been extremely high on his game. His ability to be at that size at the one position I think is super key,” Harris stated. “I told him this year he has to take that big step in really turning himself into one of the best guards in the whole entire NBA. That happens through winning and that happens through guys understanding that you’re leading this team at the point guard position.”</p><p>Detroit’s on-court leadership was a big focal point discussed during Media Day by the team. Harris elaborated on the factors that Cunningham brings as a young leader of the Pistons.</p><p>“He’s a sharp competitor who wants to win and works his tail off. He’s a very good leader as well for a player at that age,” Harris explained. “He’s very mature for his age and he’s a pro. He has the ability to be a superstar in this league and my goal is to make sure he’s pushed and held to that standard every day that he steps on the basketball to lead our team. I’m excited to work with him.”</p><p>Guards Malik Beasley and Tim Hardaway Jr. also <a href="https://x.com/zariqxavier/status/1840837120401031468" rel="noopener">shared their excitement</a> to work with Cunningham. They both admired his vision to find open shooters and their ability to help him grow this season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He now writes about sports instead as a form of therapy.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">NBA</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The Detroit Pistons are having one of those dreams where they’re stuck in a hole and they couldn’t get out — except they’re living it as their reality. After deciding to start from scratch following the 2019-20 season, the Pistons have been mired in a seemingly unending rebuilding loop despite drafting a well-regarded talent in point guard Cade Cunningham. Last season, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pistons-news-detroit-officially-clinches-embarrassing-all-time-record-bulls-loss">Pistons won just 14 games</a> — their worst win tally in the history of the franchise.</p><p>All the Pistons got to show for it was the fifth overall pick of the 2024 NBA Draft, and they used it to draft Ron Holland. Holland clearly has some scoring potential, and his athleticism as a 6’8 forward caught scouts’ attention. But the Pistons need more shooting around Cunningham, not less of it, and Holland isn’t exactly known for spacing the floor. The selection of Holland even made one NBA insider <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/insider/story/_/id/40676332/2024-nba-draft-executives-debate-espn-poll-rookies-year-best-picks-summer-league" rel="noopener">feel bad</a> for Cunningham amid the Pistons’ ongoing quest to figure out the mess they’re in.</p><p>“I feel bad for Cade Cunningham. They’ve been rebuilding for years even though they never planned on it, and this pick signals they might need to blow up the roster and start over again. I just don’t see how [Holland] plays with Ausar Thompson, Jaden Ivey and all their other young guys. That situation is a mess. Even when Holland was scoring in Vegas, it was so ugly to watch,” one NBA insider who voted on the latest ESPN poll said.</p><p>Drafting Ron Holland was a bet on the 19-year-old forward’s talent. That much is clear. But the Pistons are hoping that he figures out how to flourish in a Cunningham-led offense, especially with the 22-year-old guard <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-pistons-cade-cunningham-max-rookie-contract-extension">under contract</a> until the 2029-30 season.</p><h2>Is the NBA insider blowing the Pistons’ situation out of proportion?</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Pistons-center-Jalen-Duren-0-and-guard-Cade-Cunningham-2-celebrate.jpg"></figure><p>Indeed, the on-court fit between Cade Cunningham, Jaden Ivey, Ausar Thompson, Ron Holland, and Jalen Duren, the team’s five most important young players, is questionable. Among that quintet, no one shot better than 35.5 percent from deep last season. Thompson shot a ghastly 18.6 percent from three in his rookie year, Holland made just 23.9 percent of his triples last year with G-League Ignite, and Duren doesn’t shoot threes at all.</p><p>It’s not quite clear how the Pistons will make those pieces fit the puzzle that they’re building. Nonetheless, they added a few players who could shoot during this offseason period in Tobias Harris, Tim Hardaway Jr., and Malik Beasley, not to mention the fact that they brought Simone Fontecchio back as well.</p><p>The next step for the Pistons is to achieve respectability, and with three capable shooters helping Cade Cunningham out, the situation in Detroit may not be as dire as it is portrayed.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He was also part of the <a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/high-school-sports/2018/03/23/2018-sportsdayhs-boys-basketball-all-district-lists-for-area-teams/">Texas Association of Basketball Coaches All-Region team</a>.</p><h2><b>Cade Cunningham’s high school accolades</b></h2><p>In his junior year, the five-star recruit left Bowie High School and transferred to Monteverde Academy, the country’s top basketball team. Despite the change in scenery, Cunningham maintained his stock as a top prospect. His debut season with Monteverde saw him average 11.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 5.5 assists per game.</p><p>Cunningham’s best game of the season came in a dominant victory over Oak Hill Academy, as he registered 26 points, 11 assists, and seven rebounds. With his remarkable performance, Cunningham was named to the <a href="https://www.maxpreps.com/news/Unx8d7lBbEmJkCDKNtEhCw/2018-19-maxpreps-boys-basketball-junior-all-american-team.htm">2018-2019 MaxPreps Boys Basketball Junior All-American Second Team</a>.</p><p>Cunningham’s senior year with Monteverde was even more dominant. With more top recruits joining the top academy, Cunningham was able to help the team secure a national title in unbeaten fashion. Cunningham led the team by averaging 13.9 points, 6.4 assists, and 4.2 rebounds per game to help his school tally a 25-0 record with an average winning margin of 39 points.</p><p>As a result, Cunningham was awarded the <a href="https://www.maxpreps.com/news/Pe--2iLJfkuLqD7ecx_MOA/maxpreps-2019-20-high-school-boys-basketball-player-of-the-year-cade-cunningham.htm">MaxPreps 2019-2020 High School Boys Basketball Player of the Year</a>. Moreover, he was also named Mr. Basketball USA and the Naismith Prep Player of the Year.</p><p>Aside from a dominant high school basketball career, Cunningham also had stints outside the circuit. He participated in the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League and played for the Texas Titans during the summer. Cunningham dominated the league by averaging 25.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 5.2 assists to be <a href="https://www.tarheeltimes.com/article107523.aspx">named as the league’s MVP</a>.</p><h2><b>Cade Cunningham’s college career</b></h2><p>Furthermore, Cunningham also played for Team USA in the <a href="https://www.usab.com/basketball/players/mens/c/cunningham-cade.aspx">2019 FIBA U-19 World Cup</a>. He averaged 11.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per game to help the national squad clinch a gold medal with a clean sweep in seven games. Cunningham’s best outing came in the gold medal game against Mali, where he punched in 21 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists.</p><p>Coming out of high school, plenty of colleges desired the commitment of the five-star recruit. Big-time colleges such as Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, and many more wanted to pursue Cunningham’s services, which the prospect enjoyed.</p><blockquote>According to <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/college-basketball/2019/7/26/8906439/cade-cunningham-recruiting-nba-draft-scouting-report-montverde-high-school">SB Nation</a>, Cunningham said “I’m not feeling any pressure. I’m still just happy to be where I’m at, just having all these elite schools and coaches coming after me.”</blockquote><p>But eventually, he would <a href="https://247sports.com/Player/Cade-Cunningham-46047476/">commit to play for the Oklahoma State Cowboys</a>. For the Cowboys, Cunningham wasted no time making his mark in the college ranks. In his freshman year, he averaged 20.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game. Cunningham’s best game came in a tight 94-90 overtime victory over rival Oklahoma, <a href="https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/30975498/cade-cunningham-powers-oklahoma-state-ncaa-tournament-bid-cowboys-allowed-in">exploding for 40 points</a>.</p><p>Unfortunately, Cunningham never played in the postseason, as Oklahoma State had to serve a <a href="https://www.si.com/college/2021/11/12/ncaa-statement-oklahoma-states-remarks-following-postseason-ban">postseason ban</a> due to a bribery scandal.</p><p>But despite not playing in the postseason, Cunningham was still able to rack up numerous college awards, such as being named Big 12 Freshman of the Year, Big 12 Player of the Year, Sporting News Freshman of the Year, NABC Freshman of the Year, and USBWA National Freshman of the Year.</p><p>Aside from this, he was also part of the Big 12 All-Newcomer Team, First-team All-Big 12, and Consensus First-team All-American.</p><h2>Cade Cunningham’s professional career</h2><p>After a successful freshman year, Cunningham would forego college and announced his intent to join the 2021 NBA Draft. Given his accolades in the amateur ranks, Cunningham was expected to be a lottery pick by experts, which turned out to be true. In the annual draft, he was eventually selected by the Pistons as the top overall pick.</p><p>Cunningham would eventually sign a lucrative four-year rookie contract worth $45.6 million. To make matters interesting, his salary will be <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/tommybeer/2021/08/19/no-1-pick-cade-cunningham-to-be-paid-in-bitcoin-via-partnership-with-blockfi/?sh=101654466dc8">paid via Bitcoin</a> after inking a multiyear partnership with BlockFi. His deal made him the <a href="https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2021/08/pistons-sign-cade-cunningham-to-rookie-contract.html">highest-paid of his draft class</a>, which Cunningham appreciates.</p><blockquote>According to <a href="https://www.sportscasting.com/2021-nba-draft-prospect-cade-cunningham-possible-40-million-plus-rookie-contract-not-mad-about-it/">Sportscasting</a>, Cunningham voiced his thoughts on the lucrative deal saying, “I’m not mad about it.”</blockquote><p>The Pistons rookie is currently averaging 15.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.2 assists per game. Because of this, he made the All-Rookie First Team. Aside from this, Cunningham also set some records in his first year in the NBA so far.</p><p>He recently became the <a href="https://thesportsrush.com/nba-news-cade-cunningham-really-proving-why-he-was-drafted-as-the-1-pick-nba-twitter-goes-berserk-as-the-rookie-becomes-the-youngest-player-in-pistons-history-to-record-a-triple-double/">youngest Piston</a> and the eighth youngest NBA player to record a triple-double. At 20 years and 57 days, Cunningham registered 13 points, 12 rebounds, and 12 assists against the Lakers.</p><p>Furthermore, Cunningham became only the <a href="https://sports.yahoo.com/cade-cunningham-put-stat-line-043115220.html" rel="noopener">second rookie</a> to produce at least 30 points, eight boards, eight assists, and four rejections. He logged 34 points, eight rebounds, eight assists, and four blocks against the Nuggets to join Michael Jordan in NBA history.</p><p>Cunningham improved his scoring and assists in both of his next two seasons. He improved to 19.9 points in his second season and 22.7 points in his third. He also improved to 6.0 assists per game in 2022-23 and 7.5 in 2023-24. His development convinced the Pistons to give Cunningham a five-year, $226 million max extension in July 2024.</p><h2>Cade Cunningham’s other endeavors</h2><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Cade Cunningham breaks out a Sabrina 1 By You <a href="https://t.co/cukiJ3SSr5">pic.twitter.com/cukiJ3SSr5</a></p><p>— Nick DePaula (@NickDePaula) <a href="https://twitter.com/NickDePaula/status/1739827396914868718?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 27, 2023</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Outside of basketball, Cunningham also has other income streams, given that he wants to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/30/cade-cunningham-interview-top-nba-pick-on-uptime-endorsement.html">emulate LeBron James</a> off the court.

Through the years, Cunningham had established himself as the pinnacle of the Pistons franchise, resulting in new President of Basketball Operations Trajan Langdon rewarding his young rising star.</p><p>Since being drafted first overall by Detroit in 2021, Cunningham has averaged 20.0 points, 6.5 assists, and 5.0 rebounds per game while shooting 43.2 percent from the floor and 32.9 percent from three-point range. Just this past season, the 22-year-old guard averaged new career highs in points (22.7), assists (7.5), and field goal percent (44.9 percent).</p><p>It had become a given in recent weeks that Cunningham was <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-pistons-cade-cunningham-max-rookie-contract-extension">going to be receiving a max-level contract</a> from the Pistons as he enters the final year of his rookie contract. Cunningham has been the young leader of this franchise throughout their tumultuous rebuild, and there was no doubt that the organization wanted to lock him up on a new long-term deal that would keep the former first overall pick in Detroit through the 2029-30 season.</p><h2><b>Pistons commit to building around Cade Cunningham</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Pistons-guard-Cade-Cunningham-2-look-on-against-the-Minnesota-Timberwolves.jpg"><figcaption>Jesse Johnson-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>The 2024-25 season is going to be an interesting one for the Pistons simply because they have started over again. Although their young core from the 2023-24 season remains, Langdon is now running the front office, and Bickerstaff will take the reigns on the sidelines.</p><p>The Pistons are looking for immediate growth during the 2024-25 season, and Cunningham will be Bickerstaff’s focal point at the point guard position.</p><p>The question for this organization now revolves around what the rest of the roster will look like. The Pistons have a lot of financial flexibility when it comes to free agency, and it is said that they are in the market to bring in experienced talents who can help build a winning culture. Unfortunately, very little options have presented themselves in free agency this offseason for a rebuilding team like the Pistons.</p><p>After securing this long-term deal from the Pistons, Cunningham now enters the new year looking to lead a roster highlighted by other young, growing talents in Jalen Duren, Jaden Ivey, Isaiah Stewart, Ausar Thompson, and the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pistons-news-new-detroit-boss-reason-ron-holland-pick">2024 fifth overall pick, Ron Holland</a>.</p><p>The Pistons finished the 2023-24 season with a 14-68 record, their worst in team history. Since winning 41 games during the 2018-19 season, the Pistons have failed to surpass 23 wins in a single year. Cunningham, Bickerstaff, and the entire Pistons organization will be looking to change their recent misfortune right away.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He has been active in Detroit sports journalism since 2011 previously working with Bleacher Report, 1130 WDFN, and Detroit Sports Nation.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">NBA</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The Detroit Pistons’ 120-118 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies concluded in heartbreaking fashion. Their matchup came down to the final possessions and a last-second look to tie the game by franchise point guard Cade Cunningham. After forcing a miss by Jaren Jackson Jr. with 11 seconds left, Cunningham had a game-tying look from the baseline but it missed off the iron. Head coach Monty Williams <a href="https://twitter.com/twitter/status/1774974245455433812">came to the aid</a> of the Pistons’ guard in the postgame press conference when speaking on how this will help Cunningham grow.</p><p>“I think being able to have the same mentality no matter the consequences or what the outcome you want to be. Obviously, you want to make those shots, but I told him that I can tell when a guy wants the shot, and he wants those shots,” Williams explained. “That’s what I’m concerned with. The outcome, we all want it for us. I’m also looking for guys who want those shots, and he’s that kind of guy, and that’s why we value him so highly.”</p><p>Cunningham was impressive all game long, scoring 36 points and dishing eight assists against the Grizzlies. While averaging career numbers in his third season, he and the Pistons are still learning what it takes to close games. Cunningham had another clutch moment to learn from in March against the Miami Heat after missing a game-winning jumper.</p><p>Williams continued his support of Cunningham in the presser when he told his point guard he believes he will “win us a playoff game in that situation”. Two-way contract forward Tosan Evbuomwan also shared how his teammates have his back as well.</p><p>“He’s our leader. It’s been that way the whole time I’ve been here, and all season, and he’s shown that on a nightly basis. He’s only getting better -and he showed that with every shot he took- and with that shot in the end as well,” Evbuomwan stated. “He was great all game, and more goes into it than just that last shot. He’s just a great leader and a great player.”</p><h2><b>Another second-half collapse</b></h2><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pistons-news-jalen-duren-loses-tooth-out-grizzlies-jaren-jackson-jr-collision">The Pistons</a> played like they were in control much of the first half against the Grizzlies. After leading by as many as 15 points in the second quarter, their lead ended up spiraling away courtesy of another disappointing second-half.</p><p>Without their starting guards Ja Morant and Desmond Bane, Memphis outscored Detroit 66-51 in the final two quarters. The Pistons struggled late offensively as they only scored six points about seven minutes into the fourth period. The Grizzles managed without their starting backcourt as Jaren Jackson Jr. dominated with a 40-point performance.</p><p>Third quarters have troubled the Pistons all regular season as they consistently come out flat offensively and play unorganized defensively. Detroit has also dealt with the problem of maintaining an early lead on their way to a victory.</p><h2>Duren out quickly</h2><p>Center Jalen Duren only played five minutes after a collision with Jackson Jr. in the first quarter. The Memphis center drove into Duren’s face which ending up knocking his tooth out. The Pistons ruled him inactive for the rest of the contest and Williams had no update to provide afterwards.</p><p>Injuries continue to show as one of the biggest issues for Detroit in 2023-24. Duren became the eighth <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pistons-news-quentin-grimes-gets-brutal-injury-update-lengthy-absence">Pistons player ruled out</a> due to injury. Detroit limped into the matchup with seven players ruled out prior to the game starting.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

There are only eight games left on their calendar for this season, and they’ll be looking to at least get a rare victory to help end this campaign <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pistons-news-cade-cunningham-returns-from-injury-in-ugly-letdown-to-timberwolves">on a much better note</a> than they began it. On Monday night, the Pistons will be taking on the Memphis Grizzlies, an opponent as good as any to get a win against at this juncture of the season.</p><p>To that end, the Pistons will be needing the services of Cade Cunningham, and with the team having nothing to play for but pride, it’s fair to wonder whether or not he’ll be playing later tonight against the Grizzlies.</p><p><b><i>*Watch NBA games LIVE with fuboTV </i></b><a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/nba/?irad=356361&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener sponsored"><b><i>(click for a free trial)*</i></b></a></p><h2><b>Cade Cunningham injury status vs. Grizzlies</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Pistons-guard-Cade-Cunningham-2-look-on-against-the-Minnesota-Timberwolves.jpg"></figure><p>Cade Cunningham has missed his fair share of games this season, and he initially appeared to be in danger of missing yet another contest after the Pistons listed him as “questionable” on their <a href="https://ak-static.cms.nba.com/referee/injury/Injury-Report_2024-04-01_11AM.pdf" rel="noopener">injury report</a> due to left knee injury management.</p><p>Given how important Cunningham is to the franchise and their hope of turning their fortunes around in the coming years, the Pistons are well within their rights to exercise caution when it comes to the health of their franchise cornerstone. Be that as it may, the Pistons must also build winning habits on the court, and one of the strongest ways to do so is to actually put in the work during the games that count.</p><p>Fortunately, Cunningham has since been <a href="https://twitter.com/JLEdwardsIII/status/1774926992451764629" rel="noopener">given the greenlight to play</a> and will start, per James L. Edwards III of The Athletic,</p><p>Cade Cunningham has played in the Pistons’ past two games (a loss against the Minnesota Timberwolves, a win against the Washington Wizards), so he was never on the likelier side of the equation when it comes to missing the upcoming contest against the Grizzlies — especially when this contest is neither the front-end nor the back-end of a back-to-back set.</p><p>The last four games Cunningham missed were in the context of a back-to-back. On March 18, he missed the second game. On March 24 and 25, the Pistons guard missed both games. And then dating back to February 7, Cunningham missed their game during that day as well with that being the first of a back-to-back.</p><p>While Cunningham will play, it remains to be seen if the Pistons will limit his minutes. If that happens, Jaden Ivey will be tasked to help in leading Detroit’s hapless offense.</p><h2><b>Pistons fight for lottery positioning… while trying to avoid making bad history</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Pistons-center-Jalen-Duren-0-and-guard-Cade-Cunningham-2-celebrate.jpg"></figure><p>At 13-61, the 2023-24 Pistons will have eight tries to avoid being the worst team in franchise history. That distinction belongs to the 1979-80 team that won only 16 of its games for a terrible winning percentage of 17.6.</p><p>At this point, it looks like the Pistons are a lock to get a 14 percent chance at the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-news-alexandre-sarr-emerges-as-favorite-to-be-first-player-selected-in-2024-draft">number one overall pick</a> of the 2024 NBA Draft. Thus, it’s not like they have to consciously plummet; their depleted roster is already doing all the plummeting for them.</p><p>The good news is that it looks like the Pistons have a few winnable games to end the season. They’ll be facing the Grizzlies twice, and they can definitely beat the Brooklyn Nets, a team that’s in a woeful state at the moment. Cade Cunningham will have to be healthy, however, so that the Pistons can have a better chance to avoid making the wrong kind of history once more.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It goes without saying, however, that fans will have little reason to invest in this sub-15-win showdown if Detroit’s top player is unavailable.</p><p>Cade Cunningham recently missed two games due to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pistons-news-why-cade-cunningham-late-scratch-brutal-pelicans-loss">knee injury management</a> and could potentially be held out of this upcoming matchup. As the Motor City weighs its Friday night options, it wants to know if No. 2 is going to be in action versus the Wizards.</p><p><i><b>*Watch NBA games LIVE with fuboTV <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/nba/?irad=356361&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener sponsored">(click for a free trial)*</a></b></i></p><h2><b>Injury status for Pistons guard Cade Cunningham</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Pistons__Cade_Cunningham_attacks_the_basket.jpg"><figcaption>David Reginek-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Cunningham <a href="https://ak-static.cms.nba.com/referee/injury/Injury-Report_2024-03-29_09AM.pdf" rel="noopener">is questionable</a> for tonight’s contest, according to the NBA’s latest injury report. He sat out for back-to-back matchups against the New Orleans Pelicans and New York Knicks before returning in <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pistons-news-cade-cunningham-returns-from-injury-in-ugly-letdown-to-timberwolves">Wednesday’s 106-91 loss</a> to the Minnesota Timberwolves.</p><p>The 22-year-old did not look hindered in the least on offense, scoring 32 points on superb 11-of-23 shooting. Assuming the organization does not shut him down, Cunningham has a solid chance to play in at least 65 games for the first time of his young career. The importance of him achieving that milestone cannot be overstated after he suited up just 12 times last season.</p><p>Cunningham’s future attendance rate is especially important when considering how dependent the Pistons are on the former No. 1 overall pick to vie for wins. He is averaging 22.3 points, 7.5 assists and 4.3 rebounds in 60 games in 2023-24. What stands out most, though, is his significantly improved jump shot.</p><p>Cade Cunningham is shooting a tad under 45 percent from the floor and is knocking down 35 percent of his 3-point attempts. Based on the leap he has made this year, one can rationally anticipate him flirting with All-Star caliber numbers in the immediate future. With that trajectory in mind, the Pistons are focused on preserving his long-term health.</p><p>Hence, they might consider it practical to sit him out in late-season games if his knee is even a slight concern. ClutchPoints will update fans on Cunningham’s final injury status before the Detroit Pistons and Washington Wizards tip off at 7 p.m. ET.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Detroit has been leaning on backups in James Wiseman and Chimezie Metu amid Duren’s absence. The Pistons rely so heavily on Duren as the primary pick-and-roll partner with Cunningham. So much of Detroit’s offense is predicated on their depth, and it has dealt with growing pains as Cunningham and Duren have spent lots of time recovering from injuries in 2023-24.</p><p>While Duren and Cunningham returned, Detroit went through the matchup without guard Jaden Ivey due to knee soreness. He went through a pregame shootaround and was ruled out by the medical team shortly thereafter. The Pistons’ wing depth has been limited all season courtesy of injuries.</p><h2>Historic infamy around the corner?</h2><p>Detroit currently owns the worst record in the NBA.

Cunningham’s sophomore campaign was cut short after 12 games due to a season-ending shin injury. So far, the third-year guard has played 59 of 71 games this regular season. He has played through a couple of injuries and hasn’t had to sit for an extended period of time.</p><h2>Another new Pistons starting lineup</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Pistons-Cade-Cunningham.jpg"><figcaption>David Reginek-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>The Pistons played their 31st starting lineup of the season in adjustment to their numerous injuries. They opened up the game against the Pelicans with Jaden Ivey, Marcus Sasser, Troy Brown Jr., Chimezie Metu, and James Wiseman as their starters.</p><p>Detroit’s pregame injury report was crowded as Cunningham (left knee), Jalen Duren (lower back spasms), Simone Fontecchio (left great toe contusion), Isaiah Stewart (right hamstring), Ausar Thompson (illness), Quentin Grimes (knee), Taj Gibson (hamstring), and Stanley Umude (right ankle) were all ruled inactive. The Pistons have struggled to build consistency all season long due to the constant injuries throughout the roster.</p><p>The lack of depth opened up a lot of minutes for Detroit’s other two-way players Tosan Evbuomwan, Jared Rhoden, and Buddy Boeheim. Even Metu played 39 minutes for the Pistons while currently on a 10-day contract.</p><p>The 6-10 Nigerian-American forward co-led the team in scoring with 17 points, along with point guard Malachi Flynn. Metu addressed the media in the postgame presser discussing his opportunity in Detroit.</p><p>“Yeah, it’s a matter of letting the game come to me and not just going out there doing anything. Just staying within myself and doing the things that I can do,” Metu explained. “Controlling what I can control, playing hard, and when you prepare yourself it’s easy to go out and seize the opportunity like you said.”</p><h2>Slow start plagues Pistons to the end</h2><p>Detroit spent a good portion of the game against the Pelicans playing catch-up. The game opened up with the Pistons trailing 29-10 at the end of the first quarter. Turnovers kept their cohesiveness low as they turned the ball over six times in the opening period.</p><p>The offensive issues extended as the Pistons shot only 40.5% from the field as a team. Despite some open looks from deep, they only hit 11 of 41 threes averaging 26.8% against New Orleans.</p><p>The Pelicans led by as many as 22 points in their road victory at Little Caesars Arena. Star forward Zion Williamson looked unstoppable scoring 36 points on 13 of 14 shooting.

Instead, Miami <a href="https://twitter.com/MikeACurtis2/status/1769484345557807165" rel="noopener">grabbed the rebound</a> and Bam Adebayo delivered instant karma in the form of a buzzer-beating three to win the game.</p><p>After the game, Cunningham broke down his thought process on the JR Smith-like blunder.</p><p>“Held it for a little bit, tried to run the clock a little bit,” said Cunningham, per Mike Curtis of the Detroit News on X, the social media platform formerly referred to as Twitter. “I liked the matchup I had so I knew I was going to take that on. The last two plays, we already decided I was going to pull up. I read they were about to come double me and I tried to keep my matchup. Missed the shot. Flowed down. Bam hit his whatever three of the year. Big time shot, but that’s just a tough loss. This one hurt.”</p><p>The Pistons will try to get the bad taste out of their mouth when they travel to face the Boston Celtics on Monday evening.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Cunningham is <a href="https://twitter.com/MikeACurtis2/status/1768405049355411890">listed as questionable</a> on Detroit’s injury report, via Mike Curtis of the Detroit News.</p><p>It <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pistons-news-cade-cunningham-knee-injury-timeline-for-return" rel="noopener">doesn’t seem that Cunningham</a> suffered another major injury to his knee. This has been an ongoing issue for the third-year guard since before the All-Star break. Cunningham has missed time on and off as the Pistons have played cautious with the lingering matter.</p><p>Detroit allowed Cunningham to sit the entire fourth quarter during their victorious 113-104 night against the Toronto Raptors. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pistons-news-monty-williams-praises-ausar-thompson-marcus-sasser" rel="noopener">Pistons leaned on</a> rookie Marcus Sasser plus combo guards Jaden Ivey and Quentin Grimes to finish out the closing possessions of the win.

There could also be an increase in minutes for veteran Malachi Flynn in a reserve role.</p><p>The Pistons could also be without their best perimeter defender Ausar Thompson against Miami on Friday. Thompson has missed the last two games due to an undisclosed illness.

Their blowout win marked their 11th win of the season and their first series sweep by finishing 3-0 against Charlotte. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pistons-news-cade-cunningham-joins-lebron-james-greats-nba-club-win-nets" rel="noopener">Point guard Cade Cunningham</a> and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pistons-young-players-fans-must-focus-rest-2023-24-nba-season" rel="noopener">center Jalen Duren</a> led Detroit with standout performances on both ends of the floor.</p><p>Cunningham controlled the pace of the Pistons’ offense scoring 22 points and dishing eight assists. Duren put together one of his most complete games of the season dropping 20 points and grabbing 10 rebounds.</p><p>Detroit played with balance offensively as six different players scored in double figures. This was also one of the Pistons’ best defensive efforts all year by holding the Hornets under 100 points and to 38.6% shooting from the field.</p><h2>Cade Cunningham, Jalen Duren show elite chemistry</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Detroit-Pistons-center-Jalen-Duren-0-celebrates-with-guard-Cade-Cunningham.jpeg"><figcaption>Rick Osentoski-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>The pick-and-roll tandem between Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren holds so much influence on the Pistons’ offense. Their chemistry on the floor is on high display from the frequent alley-oops or drop-off passes for a Duren dunk opened up by a double team to Cunningham. Duren <a href="https://twitter.com/IAmEricVincent/status/1767366807806001166">spoke on their dynamic together</a> after defeating the Hornets in the postgame presser.</p><p>“Playing with a guy like that, he makes the game way simpler.

The offense has been translating with defenders crashing the paint more often, which leaves open shooting looks for other teammates. Detroit may have a reliable staple of their half-court scoring as Cunningham and Duren continue to develop together.</p><h2>Duren stayed out of foul trouble</h2><p>Duren was able to put together one of his most impactful games of the season courtesy of avoiding early foul trouble. He has been working through the habit of picking up two early fouls which continuously remove him from the court early in the first half.</p><p>Duren didn’t pick up his first personal foul until midway through the third quarter. His presence helped the Pistons build a sizeable lead early to control the momentum from the start. Duren helped lead the way for Detroit as the team outscored Charlotte in the paint 56-40 and outrebounded the Hornets 51-40.</p><p>Monday was a needed bounce-back game for the young center after playing only 16 minutes in last Saturday’s blowout loss against the Dallas Mavericks. Duren’s ability to defend without fouling could impact the franchise trajectory greatly.</p><h2>Pistons’ James Wiseman continues to impress</h2><p>After struggling to build consistency to open the year, center James Wiseman has been playing some of his best basketball through March. Wiseman finished with 10 points, nine rebounds, and some encouraging rim protection in the winning effort against the Hornets. The backup center stole the show with a thunderous fourth-quarter dunk creating a frenzy at Little Caesars Arena.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">James Wiseman JAMS IT on Nick Richards 😱<a href="https://t.co/G2J3xM1Bod">pic.twitter.com/G2J3xM1Bod</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1767355373084615090?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 12, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>The Pistons raved in support of Wiseman’s growth through 2023-24.

He’s a guy who’s in the gym every day working and getting extra reps,” Duren stated, per Bally Sports Detroit. “I’ve never not seen him in there early; he’s one of the first guys in the gym.

All of those guys are going to be in the Hall of Fame one day I think. For him to be able to do that speaks to his talent and the work he puts in,” Williams said. “That young man sees the best defender every night, he sees a double-team most of the night and he’s not a selfish player. Cade’s not a guy that just goes out there and just jacks up shots. He plays the right way.”</p><p> </p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Monty Williams gave Cade Cunningham significant credit for becoming the 6th fastest player in NBA history to score 2500 points and record 800 assists (128 games) <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Pistons?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Pistons</a> </p><p>Question by <a href="https://twitter.com/MikeACurtis2?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@MikeACurtis2</a> <a href="https://t.co/qimFdoGZU0">pic.twitter.com/qimFdoGZU0</a></p><p>— Eric Vincent (@IAmEricVincent) <a href="https://twitter.com/IAmEricVincent/status/1765941639447445967?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 8, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Cunningham has found ways to stay productive in his play throughout the Pistons’ growing pains.

It makes little sense for a team to dwell on its record when it still has a single-digit win total in March. Everyone in the Motor City knows this year is a disaster. Therefore, one has to adjust their perspective and focus on the big picture. That is exactly what Cade Cunningham is doing to push through these hard times.</p><p>The 22-year-old guard <a href="https://twitter.com/omarisankofa/status/1765215372943228971" rel="noopener">had a thoughtful response</a> following a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/heat-news-erik-spoelstra-bam-adebayo-hand-monty-williams-pistons-major-respect-after-hard-fought-battle" rel="noopener">118-110 road loss</a> versus the Miami Heat, which saw Detroit trail the reigning Eastern Conference champions by only one point with less than three minutes remaining.</p><p>“This year reshaped my thinking about it,” Cunningham said when asked if he can take pride in a hard-fought effort despite the loss, per the Detroit Free Press’ Omari Sankofa II. “I work on perfecting my craft at this point. I think that’s where we’re all at, we’re trying to get better every day because we know that’ll give us the result we want.”</p><h2><b>Cade Cunningham continues to give Pistons fans a reason to have hope </b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Pistons__Cade_Cunningham_dribbles_down_the_court.jpg"><figcaption>Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>When a franchise ties the record for most consecutive losses and is all but guaranteed to lose more than 60 games in a season, it has to make room for moral victories. In this case, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pistons-news-why-cade-cunningham-will-be-a-big-nba-problem-per-clippers-paul-george" rel="noopener">Pistons’ silver lining</a> is the marked improvement of Cade Cunningham and a couple other players.</p><p>Although it feels strange to give someone the “star” label when their team is 9-52, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft is blossoming into the face of the franchise this fans base desperately needs. He is averaging 22.2 points and 7.4 assists per game while significantly raising his field goal percentage to 45.3.</p><p>He did struggle from the floor against the Heat (8-of-20 shooting) and there is obviously still work to be done, but Detroit should be thrilled about Cunningham’s development. Furthermore, he understands that the road ahead will be covered in potholes and speed bumps. That type of mindset is crucial in this environment, as there are likely more obstacles to come.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
