Cade Cunningham News, Rumors, Updates - Detroit Pistons

Pops for 20 in another loss Cunningham closed with 20 points (9-21 FG, 2-7 3Pt), five rebounds and eight assists over 34 minutes during Friday's 108-100 loss to Cleveland.

Impact Six different Pistons scored in double digits as the team lost its 10th straight game, but Cunningham was the only one to contribute more than 11 points. The third-year guard has looked good to begin the season, averaging a career-high 21.2 points and 7.4 assists a night so far, but his efficiency continues to hold him back from a true breakout -- Cunningham's 40.4 percent field-goal shooting is a career low, and his 29.6 percent shooting from three-point range is also very much a work in progress.

Underwhelming efficiency continues Cunningham registered nine points (4-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, 12 assists and three steals across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 126-120 loss to the Hawks. He also had six turn...

Impact Cunningham is struggling mightily as a scorer of late. Connecting on just 33.3 percent of 105 shots off the dribble, he is inefficiently creating for himself and underwhelming in pick-and-roll action. Cunningham deserves more time to continue growing, and his volume production is conducive to fantasy success, but a true breakout is precluded by his 40.2 percent shooting from the field.

Struggles in loss Cunningham had 10 points (4-15 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists, three rebounds and two blocks over 38 minutes in Sunday's 119-108 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Cunningham managed to keep his 2023-24 double-digit scoring streak alive, but his 10 points Sunday was his lowest scoring total on the year. He managed to limit himself to just one turnover on the night, but he had a team-worst minus-24 point differential for the game. Cunningham is the focal point of the Pistons' offense and will have nights like Sunday's when his shot is not falling, but will continue to shoot in volume.

Surpasses 30 points in defeat Cunningham notched 33 points (11-27 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 9-10 FT), eight rebounds and eight assists over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 120-118 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Cunningham did a little bit of everything for Detroit in a home defeat, leading all players in the game in scoring while handing out a team-high assist total and ending two boards and two dimes short of a triple-double. Cunningham set a season-high point total against Milwaukee, his third game with 30 or more points over nine appearances. The third-year guard also tallied a new season high in rebounds in the loss.

Scores 21 points in defeat Cunningham chipped in 21 points (7-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds, five assists and two steals in 40 minutes during Monday's 120-109 loss to Golden State.

Impact The Pistons extended their losing streak to five games, but Cunningham continues to produce at a high level and has reached the 20-point mark in his last four contests. Jalen Duren (ankle) has impressed due to his two-way play, and Ausar Thompson has turned heads with his all-around contributions, but Cunningham's place as Detroit's primary scoring threat is firmly entrenched. He has reached the 20-point mark in six of his eight contests.

NOVEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 26 points Sunday Cunningham ended Sunday's 120-106 loss to the Suns with 26 points (12-24 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one block in 39 minutes.

Impact Another game, another instance where Cunningham leads the Pistons in scoring. Despite Detroit's ongoing four-game losing streak, Cunningham continues to produce at a high level, and he's putting up solid numbers as a scorer and playmaker. As the engine that makes the offense run on a nightly basis, Cunningham has now scored at least 20 points in five of his seven appearances while dishing out at least five dimes in all but one of those contests.

NOVEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Double-double against Pels Cunningham racked up 22 points (8-22 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, 11 assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Thursday's 125-116 loss to New Orleans.

Impact It's the second double-double in six games for Cunningham, who came into the season with 13 in 76 career NBA contests. The first overall pick in 2021 has taken a big leap forward with his production in the early going, particularly from long range -- he's shooting 41.5 percent on three-point attempts, and his 2.8 threes per game is double the rate he managed in his abbreviated 2022-23 campaign.

NOVEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Puts up 30, can't avoid defeat Cunningham finished Wednesday's 110-101 loss to Portland with 30 points (11-27 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal over 37 minutes.

Impact Cunningham didn't have his best performance as a shooter since he needed 27 shots to score 30 points, but he still led the Pistons in scoring in a game where the entire team struggled on offense. Cunningham still needs to work on his offensive consistency, but he's enjoying a solid start to the season. Through five games, the third-year floor general averages 22.8 points, 6.8 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 0.6 steals across 34.4 minutes per game. He has also scored at least 25 points in three of his five appearances.

NOVEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles from field in loss Cunningham ended Monday's 124-112 loss to the Thunder with 17 points (5-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds and five assists in 35 minutes.

Impact Cunningham didn't have his best performance as a shooter and also failed to make a big impact in other categories, so this outing was a step in the wrong direction compared to his sizzling start. Any player can have an off night, however, and Cunningham's value and role as one of Detroit's best players won't be affected by one bad outing. He'll have a chance to redeem himself against the Trail Blazers -- and highly-touted rookie Scoot Henderson -- on Wednesday.

Shines against Chicago Cunningham contributed 25 points (9-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds and 10 assists over 40 minutes during Saturday's 118-102 victory over Chicago.

Impact Cunningham had to wait until the final stages of the game to secure the double-double after setting up a Killian Hayes three-pointer, and it was the first time he recorded 10 dimes this season. The electric point guard has scored at least 25 points in two of his three outings while averaging a solid 8.3 dimes per contest to start the campaign, and he is looking as good as advertised after he missed most of the 2022-23 season with a left tibial stress fracture.

Pours in 30 in tough loss Cunningham ended Wednesday's 103-102 loss to Miami with 30 points (13-27 FG, 4-9 3Pt), three rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes.

Impact After playing only 12 games last season due to a shin injury that required surgery, Cunningham sprinted out of the gate on the new campaign as he led all scorers in the game and just missed his first double-double of 2023-24. The 2021 first overall pick could be poised to post some very impressive numbers as the foundation of a young and improving Pistons roster if he can stay healthy.

Struggles from field Friday Cunningham notched seven points (3-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt), five rebounds and four assists across 23 minutes in Friday's 114-104 preseason loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Cunningham has been bothered by a nagging quadriceps injury in the preseason, but he seems to have recovered in time to be available for the start of the regular season Oct. 25. He struggled badly from the field in this one and finished with more field-goal attempts than points scored, but one bad preseason outing is not going to change his status as Detroit's starting point guard once the regular season kicks off next week.

Strong performance in win Cunningham finished with 14 points (5-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and six assists across 22 minutes in Thursday's 118-116 preseason win over the Thunder.

Impact Cunningham got the start at point guard in his return to action and looked impressive, contributing in several categories and looking in complete control of the offense. Even though Killian Hayes has had some decent moments in the preseason, Cunningham will be the starting point guard for the Pistons as long as he remains healthy.

Available and starting Thursday Cunningham (quadriceps) is available for Thursday's preseason game against the Thunder, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports. He will start at point guard.

Impact Cunningham returned to practice in a full capacity Sunday and will officially be available for Thursday's preseason matchup, featuring in the backcourt alongside Killian Hayes and Ausar Thompson. It's not yet clear whether he'll also suit up for Friday's exhibition game against Dallas.
