Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Expected to play Saturday

Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Struggles with shot in win
Rotowire
Cunningham (wrist) contributed 10 points (3-16 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 4-9 FT), 11 assists, four rebounds and one block across 38 minutes during Thursday's 108-105 win over the Suns.
In his return from a two-game absence due to a right wrist injury, Cunningham turned in his least efficient game of the season, missing all seven of his three-point attempts and five of his attempts at the charity stripe. Given that he was dealing with a bruise on his shooting wrist, it's fair to wonder if that was still giving him trouble Thursday, but it doesn't seem like Cunningham plans on spending any additional time on the sidelines. He'll look to bounce back with a favorable matchup Saturday against the Pacers.

Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Ruled out vs. Clippers
Rotowire
Cunningham (wrist) is out for Saturday's game against the Clippers.
Cunningham was not present for Saturday's shootaround, so it's not entirely surprising to see him out for this matchup. The star floor general has missed Detroit's last two games, and his absence means Jaden Ivey should start at point guard once again. Cunningham's next chance to play will come against the Suns on Thursday.

Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Not present at shootaround
Rotowire
Cunningham (wrist) did not participate in Saturday morning's shootaround, Jacob Richman of MLive.com reports.
Cunningham is dealing with a right wrist contusion, which forced him to miss the Pistons' win over the Bulls on Wednesday. His inability to participate in the morning shootaround doesn't bode well for his chances of playing against the Clippers on Saturday, but his official status will be known closer to the 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff. Jaden Ivey drew the start Wednesday, and he could do so again Saturday if Cunningham is not cleared to play.

Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Questionable for Saturday
Rotowire
Cunningham (wrist) is questionable for Saturday's game versus the Clippers.
Cunningham missed Wednesday's win over the Bulls with the wrist issue, which resulted in Jaden Ivey drawing the start with Daniss Jenkins logging extended minutes with the second unit.
