Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham led all scorers with 30 points in Wednesday's 110-101 home loss to Portland. He struggled to stay efficient from the field with an 11-for-27 effort but continued his impressive work from deep with a 5-for-9 record. Cunningham's three-point shooting has gone through a massive improvement, as he's been hitting 44.1 percent of his attempts after nailing only 30.9 of his triples during his first two NBA seasons. On Wednesday, Cunningham added five rebounds to his line with four assists and one steal. The 22-year-old is off to a good start to the year, but he needs to do a much better job in taking care of the ball. Cunningham had six turnovers on Wednesday and has been averaging 5.4 turnovers for the season in 33.4 minutes.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham showed in the season opener against Miami on Wednesday that 2023-24 could be a very special campaign for him as he registered a game-high 30 points in a 103-102 loss without a single trip to the free-throw line. Playing in his first regular-season game since Nov. 9, 2022, Cunningham notched nine first-quarter points and never looked back. The 22-year-old finished with 13-for-27 shooting, hitting 4-for-9 from deep, and collected nine assists with three rebounds, one steal, and one block in 36 minutes. Injuries have kept Cunningham back during his first couple of years in the league, but he showed Wednesday that he's ready to take off. Fingers crossed that the 2021 first-overall pick doesn't run into new health issues.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (quad) will suit up for Thursday's preseason contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Cunningham hasn't played since the first preseason game due to left quad tendinitis. Luckily, it sounds like that issue is behind him, so Cunningham should be ready for Opening Night. The hope is that Cunningham will take a step forward this upcoming season. The Pistons have surrounded Cunningham with a decent supporting cast, so he should be a viable fantasy option.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham is fully healthy and ready to go for the 2023-24 NBA season, and teammate Jaden Ivey sees him having a great campaign. "I think a lot of people are going to be shocked," Ivey told Omari Sankofa of The Detroit Free Press about Cunningham. "He's going to have a special season this season for us." Cunningham, who will celebrate his 22nd birthday on Monday, has averaged 17.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 5.6 assists through his 76 career games. A stress fracture in his left shin limited the talented guard to just 12 games last season, but he's been healthy all summer, and judging by Ivey's words, Cunningham appears ready to take his game to the next level.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham has left a big impression on Team USA head coach Steve Kerr in pre-World Cup training camp scrimmages. Cunningham is part of the Select Team at the camp and he led the side to victories in both scrimmages Friday. "Cade looked great," Kerr said. "The injury is clearly behind him. It's just great to see him healthy, and he's a guy who can really control a game from that point guard spot with his size and physicality, and it's good to see him looking so healthy." Cunningham played in only 12 games during his sophomore year in 2022-23 due to a stress fracture in his left leg. However, he appears to be fully healthy now and ready to rock for the Pistons next season.

Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham is seen as a team leader by general manager Troy Weaver and will be expected to play a massive role during his comeback campaign in 2023-24. The 21-year-old was limited to only 12 appearances during his sophomore season after having surgery to repair a stress fracture in his left leg. "We were poised to take a step up last season, but Cade's injury kind of slowed us down," Weaver said. "Now, he's coming back full speed ahead and he's looked very, very strong this summer. We're excited about him coming back and leading the troops." Cunningham has averaged 17.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists, and 1.2 steals for his young NBA career.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (shin) plans to have season-ending surgery, but is expected to be ready for the beginning of training camp. This is the worst case scenario, but not exactly surprising with the Pistons being non-competitive this season. They aren't going to risk the health of their young star guard in a lost season. Killian Hayes figures to remain in the starting unit the rest of the way. That being said, he should be rostered in all fantasy formats, so fantasy managers should check to see if he's available. Cunningham can safely be dropped in all re-draft formats.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (shin) is out indefinitely. The 21-year-old has played well this season, averaging 19.9 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 6.0 assists. However, there's a concern that a stress fracture may be the issue with his left shin, so he'll remain out while considering his options. Until he's cleared to return, Killian Hayes is the favorite to continue filling the void in the lineup. Hayes has averaged 11.0 points, 4.8 assists, 1.8 steals, and 1.0 blocks in four starts this season and could be a viable replacement for the foreseeable future in all fantasy setups. Alec Burks, who had 23 points on Friday against the Los Angeles Lakers, may also see more minutes moving ahead.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (shin) will officially miss his fourth consecutive game due to this shin issue. His amount of missed time is also most likely due to the Pistons being extra cautious on top of it all. During a season where they're not going to compete for a championship, they're not going to risk the health of their centerpiece. Corey Joseph started only one of the games while Cunningham has been out, while Killian Hayes has taken over since then. Hamidou Diallo has also gotten some extra time but Hayes seems to be the better streaming option until Cunningham returns.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (shin) won't suit up for Saturday's game against Boston. The 21-year-old was also out on Friday night, which opened the door Bojan Bogdanovic to lead the team with 25 points. Bogdanovic should continue to benefit immensely without Cunningham on the floor, and so should guys like Isaiah Stewart, Killian Hayes, Jaden Ivey.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (shin) won't play on Friday against the Knicks. The 21-year-old has a sore right shin, so his next chance to suit up will come on Saturday against the Celtics. In the meantime, Killian Hayes is expected to take his place. Hayes has averaged 7.1 points, 4.4 assists, and 2.8 boards in 58 career starts, so fantasy managers will be taking a gamble with him in the lineup.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (shin) is considered questionable heading toward the meeting with the Knicks. The 21-year-old is dealing with right shin soreness, forcing him to log only 23 minutes in Wednesday's matchup against the Boston Celtics. If Cunningham can't suit up, Bojan Bogdanovic, who is second on the team in scoring, would become a must-start in all formats on Friday night. At the same time, Saddiq Bey and Jaden Ivey would also get involved more than usual on the offensive end.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham had a career night on Friday against Atalanta, posting his new record with 35 points. He couldn't hit anything from deep but finished with a solid 14-for-23 record from the field and got a sniff of a triple-double by bagging nine rebounds and eight assists. Cunningham added a steal at the defensive end and posted just one turnover in 33 minutes. This was a superb effort from last year's No. 1 pick, especially offensively, as Cunningham's shooting has mostly been inefficient since he entered the league. He has the keys to the city in Detroit, though, and will continue to stuff the stat sheet throughout the season.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The rookie guard is going to sit out the regular season finale due to hip soreness. His absence means Killian Hayes and Saben Lee will see more playing time coming their way. Hayes is the better fantasy option between the two. He could have some streaming appeal with an extended role on Sunday.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (hip) is tagged as questionable for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The rookie guard started off the season slow due to an ankle injury. However, Cunningham has played much better during the second half of the season. The Pistons don't have much to gain from this game, so it's likely that they give Cunningham the day off. Killian Hayes and Saben Lee would be asked to play more, assuming Cunningham is out. However, neither of them are trustworthy fantasy options.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (hip) isn't available for Sunday's matchup with the Pacers. The rookie played just seven minutes against OKC on Friday evening, opening the door for Killian Hayes to step up and finish with 26 points, eight assists, seven boards, five steals, and two blocks. Marvin Bagley III (hip), Cory Joseph (back), and Hamidou Diallo (finger) are also out, so there's room for Hayes to remain involved. However, if Saddiq Bey and Isaiah Stewart get their usual allotment of minutes, Hayes likely won't see similar production.

Detroit Pistons shooting guard/small forward Cade Cunningham was integral to his team's offense in Tuesday's loss to the Nets, as he tied his career best with 34 points. Cunningham's offensive aggressiveness resulted in him shooting 13-for-24 overall, including 5-for-11 from long range, his seventh game this year with at least five triples made. While the rookie has shot just 32.3 percent from long range over the course of the year, he is enjoying a month of March in which he has averaged 22.5 points, 7.1 assists, and 6.2 rebounds across 13 contests. With Jerami Grant (calf) shut down for the remainder of the season, Cunningham's DFS ceiling will only continue to grow over Detroit's final six games.

Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Orlando Magic. He came down with a non-COVID illness on Tuesday and it forced him to miss Tuesday's game against the Miami Heat. Rodney McGruder (hamstring) stepped into the starting five with Cunningham out, but didn't do much, scoring eight points over 20 minutes. McGruder is questionable himself for Thursday's game and starting power forward Jerami Grant (knee) is out with right knee inflammation so the Pistons could be very short-handed. Point guard Killian Hayes would certainly see increased minutes if Cunningham were to sit. The second-year guard dished out eight assists over 30 minutes in Tuesday's game.

Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday night's game against the Miami Heat. The rookie came down with a non-COVID illness. Killian Hayes (groin) is returning to the court for Tuesday's game and could take Cunningham's spot in the starting five, but he doesn't offer much upside for fantasy purposes. Cory Joseph and Saben Lee will be leaned on more heavily with Cunningham out. Lee is the most likely player of this trio of guards to come through with a solid game, but it's tough to bank on. We'll see if "Motor Cade" can return to the court for Thursday's game against the Orlando Magic.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (illness) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Miami Heat. He is a new addition to the injury report with a non-COVID related illness. Fellow guard Killian Hayes (groin) has been cleared to play in Tuesday's contest. He could end up sliding into the starting five and being a possible DFS option. Cory Joseph and Saben Lee would also have bigger roles, assuming Cunningham is unable to play.
