Cunningham's status for Friday's contest against the Celtics is up in the air as he is dealing with a hip injury, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham suffered a hip pointer during Tuesday's game against the Pelicans. It's uncertain how long the rookie will be out, but it isn't expected serious. If he's unable to play Friday, Frank Jackson and Hamidou Diallo could see increased minutes against the Celtics.

Cunningham suffered a right hip pointer during Tuesday's game against the Pelicans and is unlikely to return.
EDGE Analysis
Assuming Cunningham is done for the game, he'll finish with six points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds, two steals and one assist in 21 minutes. He should tentatively be considered questionable for Thursday's contest against the Timberwolves.

Cunningham finished with 19 points (6-21 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 10 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and three steals across 37 minutes during Sunday's 115-105 win over Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham continues to struggle with his shot and is shooting just 23.7 percent from the field over his last two games. Nonetheless, the 2021 No. 1 overall pick was still able to lead the Pistons to victory by recording his second triple-double of his young career. The rookie also tied his season high with three steals, a mark he's reached five times. In January, Cunningham is averaging 17.3 points, 5.6 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 32.3 minutes. His production has been rock solid for a first-year player, and he'll look to bounce back from his recent shooting slump during Tuesday's contest against the Pelicans.

Cunningham notched 34 points (14-26 FG, 6-9 3Pt), eight rebounds, eight assists, four blocks and two steals in 40 minutes during Tuesday's 110-105 loss to the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham connected on six threes en route to a career-high 34 points. The rookie also dished out eight assists for the second straight game and grabbed eight rebounds -- his most since Dec. 21. The 2021 first-round pick also displayed his defensive playmaking ability, blocking a season-high four shots and registering multiple steals for the 14th time during the 2021-22 campaign. Cunningham will look to build off his best statistical performance of the season Friday, when the Pistons head to Orlando.

Cunningham contributed 18 points (7-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight assists, five rebounds, one steal and one block in 36 minutes Sunday in the Pistons' 117-111 loss to the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
After a pair of underwhelming outings to begin the Pistons' four-game road swing, Cunningham closed the trip with two quality performances in a row. After turning in a 25-point, six-rebound, five-assist outing in a 10-point loss to Utah on Friday, Cunningham once again filled out the box score nicely in Denver. His overall fantasy value is dragged down to some extent by his subpar 40.2 percent mark from the field, but he's shown improvement with his efficiency since exiting the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols earlier in January. In his 12 games since returning to the lineup, Cunningham has turned in 44.3/34.3/84.6 percent shooting splits from the field, three-point range and the charity stripe.

Cunningham ended with 25 points (11-23 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists, three blocks and two steals across 41 minutes during Friday's 111-101 loss to Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Coming off of a pair of down games, Cunningham bounced back in a big way with one of his best all-around stat lines of the season. The No. 1 overall pick recorded multiple steals for the first time since Jan. 10, and his three blocks tied a career high. Like any rookie, Cunningham is prone to inconsistency, but his highs have been more than encouraging enough to justify the hype.

Cunningham was ejected in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Suns after receiving his second technical foul. He finished the contest with 21 points (9-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four assists, one rebound and one steal in 25 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
The ejection spelled an early end to what was shaping up to be a big game for the rookie No. 1 overall pick, who still managed to reach the 20-point threshold for the second time in his last 11 appearances. He received both of his technicals in the third quarter, with the first coming when he complained to the referee after he was assessed a personal foul while attempting to break up a lob to Suns center JaVale McGee. His second technical was assessed after he taunted the Suns' Cameron Payne following a reverse slam dunk. Cunningham is unlikely to face any additional punishment from the league, so he should be ready to go for the Pistons' upcoming four-game week, which kicks off Tuesday at Golden State.

Cunningham closed Monday's 126-116 victory over the Jazz with 29 points (10-17 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound, eight assists, two blocks and two steals over 38 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham's scoring effort was a career best, and he stuffed the stat sheet to boot. Cunningham is having a prolific rookie season, as even when struggling with his shot the 20-year-old makes constant contributions across the box score. He will look to keep rolling against the Bulls on Tuesday.
