Cade Cunningham has reappeared on the Detroit Pistons’ injury list ahead of their game against the Atlanta Hawks.
As the Detroit Pistons approach the conclusion of another underwhelming season, maintaining player health remains a top priority, particularly for their franchise cornerstone, Cade Cunningham. The young guard’s availability for Wednesday night’s matchup against the Atlanta Hawks is uncertain, as indicated by the Pistons’ injury report, with Cunningham listed as questionable as he continues to manage his knee.
After enduring a season marred by injuries in his sophomore year, Cunningham has been relatively fortunate with his health this season. He commenced the campaign by appearing in 36 consecutive games before encountering his first setback on January 9th. Although he missed an eight-game stretch in January, Cunningham has largely been on the court since his return on January 27th.
In the past 31 games, Cunningham has sat out just five times, maintaining an average of 32 minutes per game on the court during this period. His statistical contributions have been notable, with an average of 22 points, a shooting accuracy of 45% from the field, and a 38% success rate from beyond the arc. Additionally, he has demonstrated versatility by securing five rebounds and distributing eight assists per game.
Despite his recent appearances on the Pistons’ injury report, Cunningham has managed to take the court for the team’s past three games. His most recent absence occurred on March 25th when the Pistons faced off against the New York Knicks. As the Pistons prepare to face the Hawks, Cunningham’s availability is likely to be determined closer to game time. Tip-off between the Pistons and the Hawks is scheduled for 7:30 PM ET.
