Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Double-doubles in return

Cunningham (hip) recorded 25 points (10-23 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 assists, six rebounds and two steals over 34 minutes during the Pistons' 120-112 win over the Hawks on Tuesday.

Cunningham missed the Pistons' last three games due to a left hip contusion, but he progressed enough in his recovery to return Tuesday. He picked up right where he left off by recording his fifth straight double-double. While he wasn't efficient from beyond the arc, he helped the Pistons close the game out with nine points in the fourth quarter. The 24-year-old is averaging 27.3 points, 9.9 assists, 5.4 rebounds, 1.8 three-pointers and 1.4 steals over 36.8 minutes per game to open the season, putting him well on his way to earning a second straight All-Star nod.
