Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Strong showing in return

Cunningham (hip) logged 24 points (10-19 FG, 4-6 3Pt), 11 assists, six rebounds and two steals across 33 minutes during Friday's 130-106 win over the Pacers.

Cunningham didn't exhibit any rust in his return to action after he missed Detroit's last three games while on the mend from a left sacroiliac joint sprain. He knocked down over half of his attempts from the field and extended his double-double streak to six contests due to yet another impressive passing performance. Assuming he doesn't wind up back on the injury report for Saturday's game against the 76ers, Cunningham shouldn't be subject to a minute restriction in hte second leg of a back-to-back set.
