The Detroit Pistons are in Texas to take on the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday evening, and for the game they will be without one of their best players. 

2021 first overall pick Cade Cunningham has been ruled out for the game due to a hip injury, and his status can be seen in the tweet that is embedded below from the Twitter account of Underdog NBA.  

The Pistons come into the game as one of the worst teams in the NBA, and have a 12-41 record in 53 games played on the season. 

They are currently on a four-game losing streak. 

Right now, they are the 14th seed in the Eastern Conference, which only has them better than one team in the east (the Orlando Magic).

They are clearly in a rebuilding mode, and far away from playoff contention.

  • DEROZAN PASSES JORDAN ON A LIST FOR THE BULLS: DeMar DeRozan and the Chicago Bulls have been on a roll to start the new season as the top team in the Eastern Conference. DeRozan is a four-time All-Star in his first season in Chicago, and he passed Hall of Famer Michael Jordan on a franchise-record list. CLICK HERE.
  • STEPH AND THE WARRIORS ARE ON FIRE: The Golden State Warriors have not made the playoffs in two seasons, but that appears likely to change this season. They are on fire to start the season led by superstar guard Steph Curry and have one of the best records in the entire NBA. . CLICK HERE.
