Cade Cunningham Injury Update

Detroit's second-year star has shut things down for the year in order to get back to 100%.

News has already been made public that Cade Cunningham will miss the rest of the season as he attempts to get healthy. Cunningham had been dealing with a left lower leg issue and is not done for the year. The Pistons released a statement on Cunningham's progress as we march toward the new calendar year.


Pistons guard Cade Cunningham underwent successful surgery on Friday, December 16 to stabilize and promote complete healing of a left tibial stress fracture. The surgery was performed by Dr. David Porter and Dr. Mark Ritter of Forte Sports Medicine and Orthopedics (Carmel, IN) in consultation with team orthopedic surgeon Dr. Bill Moutzouros of Henry Ford Health, who was also present. The 6-foot-6 guard is expected to miss the remainder of the season with doctors anticipating a recovery and return to full basketball activities this offseason.

Further updates will be disseminated as available.
