Top Cade Cunningham News

  • Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Surpasses 20 points as top scorer

    Cunningham finished with 21 points (8-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six assists, three rebounds and one steal over 32 minutes in Friday's 123-91 loss to Orlando.

    Cunningham led all Pistons in scoring and assists while finishing as the lone player on his team with 20 or more points in a losing effort. Cunningham, who also led Detroit in threes made and minutes played, has been one of the top offensive producers for the Pistons this season and has surpassed the 20-point mark in 15 outings this year.

  • Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Turnover woes continue in loss

    Cunningham had 16 points (6-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 assists, four rebounds, two steals and five turnovers over 34 minutes in Wednesday's 116-102 loss to the Grizzlies.

    Cunningham came into Wednesday's game leading the league with 4.4 turnovers per game and had five-plus turnovers for the second time in his last three games. He did register a double-double for the second straight game, and his points per game (22.4), assists per game (7.3) and three-point shooting (35.0 percent) are career highs. Cunningham has progressed well in his third year in the league, and consistently taking care of the ball could be his next step toward reaching All-Star status.

  • Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Comes close to double-double

    Cunningham had 31 points (12-20 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Thursday's 118-112 loss to New York.

    The Pistons fought hard in this one, and while they took another loss, the performance of their young backcourt of Cunningham and Killian Hayes was encouraging. Cunningham is firmly entrenched as Detroit's primary scoring threat, and the numbers back him up, as he's cleared the 25-point mark in four of his last five appearances. He's averaged 26.0 points, 6.8 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game in that span.

  • Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Modest numbers in rout

    Cunningham recorded 15 points (6-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 133-107 loss to the Lakers.

    The third-year guard led the Pistons in scoring on the night, but it was Cunningham's lowest points output since Nov. 14. After an injury-plagued start to his career, the 2021 first overall pick is still trying to develop a consistent offensive game, but he's showing signs of progress -- during that six-game streak in which he's scored at least 15 points a night, he's shooting 41.9 percent from three-point range while averaging 22.8 points, 6.3 assists, 4.0 boards, 2.2 threes and 0.8 steals.

  • Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Racks up 26 points Monday

    Cunningham notched 26 points (10-22 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Monday's 126-107 loss to Washington.

    Cunningham led Detroit in the scoring in the loss, as he was the only Piston to exceed 16 points. The third-year point guard also tied for the team lead in assists and committed just one turnover after averaging 4.4 turnovers over his previous five contests. Cunningham still has the worst mark in the league with 4.5 turnovers per game on the season, but he's shown plenty of growth elsewhere, as his averages of 22.2 points, 7.1 dimes and 1.9 triples are each on pace to be a career-best mark.

  • Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Goes for 31 points in loss

    Cunningham recorded 31 points (10-26 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 9-9 FT), three rebounds and five assists across 38 minutes during Friday's 136-113 loss to Indiana.

    Cunningham was impressive despite the 23-point loss, and the point guard continues to enhance his role as Detroit's main offensive threat every time he steps on the court. He's taken a leap forward compared to last season and has looked productive in a struggling Pistons team, averaging 22.0 points and 7.1 assists per game.

  • Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Leads offense in defeat

    Cunningham provided 27 points (7-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 11-11 FT), two rebounds, nine assists, one block and three steals over 38 minutes during Monday's 107-103 loss to Denver.

    Cunningham was the top scorer and distributor for Detroit, finishing one assist short of a double-double. He was also perfect from the free-throw line en route to posting the highest point total of any player in Monday's contest. Cunningham has recorded at least 25 points and eight assists in four games this season.

  • Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Pops for 20 in another loss

    Cunningham closed with 20 points (9-21 FG, 2-7 3Pt), five rebounds and eight assists over 34 minutes during Friday's 108-100 loss to Cleveland.

    Six different Pistons scored in double digits as the team lost its 10th straight game, but Cunningham was the only one to contribute more than 11 points. The third-year guard has looked good to begin the season, averaging a career-high 21.2 points and 7.4 assists a night so far, but his efficiency continues to hold him back from a true breakout -- Cunningham's 40.4 percent field-goal shooting is a career low, and his 29.6 percent shooting from three-point range is also very much a work in progress.

  • Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Underwhelming efficiency continues

    Cunningham registered nine points (4-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, 12 assists and three steals across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 126-120 loss to the Hawks. He also had six turnovers.

    Cunningham is struggling mightily as a scorer of late. Connecting on just 33.3 percent of 105 shots off the dribble, he is inefficiently creating for himself and underwhelming in pick-and-roll action. Cunningham deserves more time to continue growing, and his volume production is conducive to fantasy success, but a true breakout is precluded by his 40.2 percent shooting from the field.

  • Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Struggles in loss

    Cunningham had 10 points (4-15 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists, three rebounds and two blocks over 38 minutes in Sunday's 119-108 loss to the Bulls.

    Cunningham managed to keep his 2023-24 double-digit scoring streak alive, but his 10 points Sunday marked his lowest scoring total on the year. He managed to limit himself to just one turnover on the night, but he had a team-worst minus-24 point differential for the game. Cunningham is the focal point of the Pistons' offense and will have nights like Sunday's when his shot is not falling, but he will usually continue to shoot in volume.

  • Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Surpasses 30 points in defeat

    Cunningham notched 33 points (11-27 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 9-10 FT), eight rebounds and eight assists over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 120-118 loss to the Bucks.

    Cunningham did a little bit of everything for Detroit in a home defeat, leading all players in the game in scoring while handing out a team-high assist total and ending two boards and two dimes short of a triple-double. Cunningham set a season-high point total against Milwaukee, his third game with 30 or more points over nine appearances. The third-year guard also tallied a new season high in rebounds in the loss.

  • Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Scores 21 points in defeat

    Cunningham chipped in 21 points (7-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds, five assists and two steals in 40 minutes during Monday's 120-109 loss to Golden State.

    The Pistons extended their losing streak to five games, but Cunningham continues to produce at a high level and has reached the 20-point mark in his last four contests. Jalen Duren (ankle) has impressed due to his two-way play, and Ausar Thompson has turned heads with his all-around contributions, but Cunningham's place as Detroit's primary scoring threat is firmly entrenched. He has reached the 20-point mark in six of his eight contests.

  • Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Scores 26 points Sunday

    Cunningham ended Sunday's 120-106 loss to the Suns with 26 points (12-24 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one block in 39 minutes.

    Another game, another instance when Cunningham leads the Pistons in scoring. Despite Detroit's ongoing four-game losing streak, Cunningham continues to produce at a high level, and he's putting up solid numbers as a scorer and playmaker. As the engine that makes the offense run on a nightly basis, Cunningham has now scored at least 20 points in five of his seven appearances while dishing out at least five dimes in all but one of those contests.

  • Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Double-double against New Orleans

    Cunningham racked up 22 points (8-22 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, 11 assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Thursday's 125-116 loss to New Orleans.

    It's the second double-double in six games for Cunningham, who came into the season with 13 in 76 career NBA contests. The first overall pick in 2021 has taken a big leap forward with his production in the early going, particularly from long range -- he's shooting 41.5 percent on three-point attempts, and his 2.8 threes per game is double the rate he managed in his abbreviated 2022-23 campaign.

  • Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Puts up 30, can't avoid defeat

    Cunningham finished Wednesday's 110-101 loss to Portland with 30 points (11-27 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal over 37 minutes.

    Cunningham didn't have his best performance as a shooter since he needed 27 shots to score 30 points, but he still led the Pistons in scoring in a game where the entire team struggled on offense. Cunningham still needs to work on his offensive consistency, but he's enjoying a solid start to the season. Through five games, the third-year floor general has averaged 22.8 points, 6.8 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 0.6 steals across 34.4 minutes per game. He has also scored at least 25 points in three of his five appearances.

  • Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Struggles from field in loss

    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.

    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.

  • Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Shines against Chicago

    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.

    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.
