Cunningham won't play Sunday against the Thunder due to left knee injury management, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham returned to action Saturday following an eight-game absence due to a knee strain, posting 20 points and 12 assists in 35 minutes during a loss to Washington. He was given a probable designation for the second half of a back-to-back set Sunday and was listed in the starting lineup against the Thunder, but he's a late scratch just minutes before tipoff. Killian Hayes will start Sunday in Cunningham's absence, while the latter's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday in Cleveland.

Cunningham (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Thunder and will start, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham made his return Saturday following an eight-game absence due to a knee strain, posting 20 points (7-17) and 12 assists in 35 minutes during a 118-104 loss to the Wizards. As expected, he's been upgraded from probable to available for the second half of Detroit's back-to-back set and should handle his usual workload.

Cunningham is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Thunder due to left knee injury management.
EDGE Analysis
After playing 35 minutes and logging a 20-point, 12-assist double-double during the Pistons 118-104 loss to the Wizards on Saturday, Cunningham could be given a rest day Sunday. While he's still trending toward playing, fantasy managers should keep an eye on his status leading up to the team's 2:00 pm ET tipoff.

Cunningham (knee) is probable for Saturday's game against the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham was initially listed as probable for Wednesday's matchup versus the Hornets, suggesting he was on track to return following a seven-game absence. However, he was downgraded to questionable following the team's morning shootaround and ended up missing an eighth straight game, as coach Monty Williams said he wanted the point guard to get more practice time and conditioning in before returning to game action. Given what happened Wednesday, fantasy managers should proceed with more caution than they usually do with probable tags, but Cunningham should be back soon.

Cunningham (knee) will remain out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets, Keith Langlois of the Pistons' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Monty Williams said he wants Cunningham to get in some more practice time and conditioning before he returns. While Cunningham is close to playing again, Wednesday will mark his eighth straight absence due to the knee injury. Expect Jaden Ivey and Marcus Sasser to continue to pick up the slack in Cunningham's absence, though Monte Morris (quadricep) could play double-digit minutes off the bench during his season debut. Cunningham's next chance to suit up will come Saturday against Washington.

Cunningham (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham was initially listed as probable, suggesting he was on track to return from a seven-game absence due to a left knee strain. However, he's been downgraded to questionable following Detroit's morning shootaround, so fantasy managers will likely have to wait until pregame warmups to hear official word on his availability. If Cunningham remains sidelined, Jaden Ivey and Marcus Sasser should continue to see increased playing time, but Monte Morris (quad) is expected to make his season debut and could see double-digit minutes off the bench.

Cunningham (knee) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham is expected to return to action Wednesday following a seven-game absence due to a left knee strain. Given the layoff, it's safe to presume Cunningham will be monitored in his first game back, but he should still see plenty of usage. The third-year guard has been inefficient at times this season, but he's still averaging 22.8 points, 7.3 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 34.5 minutes per game.

Cunningham (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham was doubtful for Monday's matchup, so it isn't surprising that he'll be sidelined for a seventh consecutive game due to a left knee strain. However, he recently resumed basketball activities, and it's encouraging that the Pistons initially deemed him doubtful rather than immediately ruling him out. Cunningham's next chance to suit up will be Wednesday against the Hornets.

Cunningham (knee) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham will likely miss a seventh straight game due to a left knee strain, but he recently resumed basketball activities and is nearing a return to game action. Jaden Ivey should continue to see heavy usage Monday, while Cunningham is presumably targeting Wednesday's matchup versus Charlotte or Saturday's contest against Washington as potential return dates.
