As the Detroit Pistons look to keep the ball rolling, their injury report remains crowded. Cade Cunningham's name was added, which created some concern ahead of the matchup against the Chicago Bulls.
According to the official NBA injury report, Cunningham is dealing with a right wrist contusion. When the Pistons initially released their report, Cunningham already had a high chance of playing, seeing as though he was listed as probable.
Hours before the game was slated for tip-off, Cunningham was downgraded to questionable. That generated some additional concern for the All-Star guard.
Will Cade Cunningham Face the Bulls?
Although the Pistons initially seemed optimistic about Cunningham’s availability, he will ultimately be ruled out for Wednesday’s action.
This year, Cunningham is once again looking like one of the top players in the game.
After dealing with consistent injury setbacks while playing on one of the Eastern Conference's worst teams, Cunningham was struggling to find a positive identity in the NBA.
Last year, that all changed. Some roster improvements and a new head coach did wonders for Cunningham's development. He shot 46 percent from the field and drained 35 percent from three, while producing 26.1 points per game. He nearly averaged a double-double with 9.1 assists and came down with six rebounds per game.
This year, Cunningham is following up with another All-Star campaign. In his first 33 games, the veteran is shooting 46 percent from the field and knocking down 34 percent of his threes, while putting up 26.7 points per game. Once again, he could potentially average a double-double, having 9.7 assists per game.
The Pistons (27-9) will host the Bulls (17-19) for a 7 PM ET tip.
