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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Cunningham (quad) was a full participant at practice Sunday, Keith Langlois of the Pistons' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis

Cunningham has been ruled out for Thursday's preseason game against the Thunder due to left quadriceps tendinitis.
EDGE Analysis
The severity of Cunningham's injury isn't yet clear, but he'll have a week to recover before a rematch against Oklahoma City next Thursday. Killian Hayes is starting in Cunningham's place.

The Pistons picked up the 2024-25 team option on Cunningham's rookie contract Monday, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham is the Pistons' cornerstone player, so this move isn't surprising at all. The 2021 No. 1 overall pick is looking for a bounce-back campaign after missing most of last season due to a left shin injury that required surgery. If Cunningham returns to form, Detroit will presumably try to extend Cunningham on a supermax deal as soon as possible.

Cunningham (lower leg) is fully recovered from season-ending shin surgery he underwent in December and will practice against Team USA ahead of the FIBA World Cup, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham was offered a spot on the roster but decided to focus on preparing for the 2023-24 NBA season. However, he will help the squad prepare for the competition. Fantasy managers should have no concern that Cunningham will be ready to go once training camp rolls around.
