Despite the Pistons confirming that Cunningham is available and in the starting lineup earlier, he will ultimately sit out Wednesday's game versus the Hawks due to left knee injury management, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham will sit out Wednesday's contest after being a late scratch. Marcus Sasser will start in his absence. Cunningham's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Memphis.

Cunningham (injury management) will play and start in Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham's status was up in the air Wednesday as he continues to nurse a lingering knee injury. While he's gotten the green light to face the Hawks, it's possible Cunningham doesn't see the minutes load he's been handed the past two games (36.5 mpg), and ends up around the 28-32 minute mark.

Cunningham is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hawks due to left knee injury management.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham has scored at least 30 points in three straight games, but he may take a seat again to rest a knee injury that's bothered him during the second-half schedule. Marcus Sasser (illness) is also questionable, so Jaden Ivey may be in store for heavy usage if the other two guards are sidelined.

EDGE Analysis
Cunningham's 36 points Monday marked the third game in a row that the 2021 No. 1 overall pick has scored 30 points or more.

Cunningham is questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies due to left knee injury management.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham has been in and out of the lineup recently as he continues to nurse a lingering knee issue, and he finds himself on the injury report once again ahead of Monday's contest. Malachi Flynn could be in line for an increased role if Cunningham is unable to suit up.

EDGE Analysis
Cunningham was questionable for Friday's game due to left knee injury management, but he was able to suit up and led both teams in scoring.
