Pistons
According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the Detroit Pistons and point guard Cade Cunningham officially agreed to a five-year, $224 million maximum rookie extension on Tuesday. The rookie extension could amount to as much as $269 million. After a dismal 2023-2024 campaign, the Pistons signed veterans Malik Beasley, Tim Hardaway, and Tobias Harris this off-season to help out the 22-year-old. Suffering from left knee tendinopathy, Cunningham's season was cut short, but not before he averaged 22.7 points, 7.5 assists, and 4.3 rebounds in 33.5 minutes across 62 games. Detroit expects the 2021 No. 1 overall pick to be healthy for training camp.

Cade Cunningham, Pistons Agree To Contract Extension
According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham agreed to a five-year, $226 million extension with the team. The Pistons are rebuilding. However, the franchise wants to keep Cunningham at the forefront. The 22-year-old averaged a career-high 22.7 points and 7.5 assists last season. But he logged 3.4 turnovers during the 2023-24 campaign, so that's an area that needs to improve. Cunningham also hasn't played more than 64 games in any of his three seasons, which will cause his fantasy value to drop until he proves he can stay healthy.

Cade Cunningham To Get A Contract Extension?
According to James L. Edwards III of The Athletic, Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham could receive a contract extension this offseason. Edwards, who covers the Pistons, is "99.9 percent sure" it will happen, adding he'd "be stunned" if it didn't. The 2021 No. 1 overall pick has averaged 20.0 points, 6.5 assists, and 5.0 rebounds during his career. But some may argue against giving Cunningham a max rookie extension, considering he's been limited to 138 games since entering the league because of various injuries. Nonetheless, he still has upside for fantasy managers if he can stay healthy during most of the 2024-25 campaign. However, he has had issues taking care of the ball, averaging 3.5 turnovers. At the same time, Cunningham has shot a subpar 32.9% from behind the arc, which won't earn him praise from category participants.

Cade Cunningham Hoping To Improve In Several Areas
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham is coming off his best season since entering the league as the No. 1 overall pick in 2021. He appeared in 62 games, averaging 22.7 points and 7.5 assists. But the 22-year-old still has things he'd like to improve throughout the offseason, specifically his conditioning. His ballhandling is also something he vowed to focus on. Cunningham has averaged 3.5 turnovers during his career, so fantasy managers would undoubtedly appreciate an improvement in that area. In addition, while his 62 appearances were an upgrade from the 2022-23 campaign, his inability to stay healthy over the years will negatively impact his fantasy stock until he proves he can stay on the floor.

Cade Cunningham Not Playing Against Dallas
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. This will be the seventh straight game he has missed because of a left knee injury. It would be surprising if the young star suits up again this season, as the Pistons only have one more game to play on Sunday versus the San Antonio Spurs. Expect Marcus Sasser and Jaden Ivey to lead the backcourt, while Evan Fournier and Malachi Flynn will continue to receive more playing time.

Cade Cunningham Doubtful For Friday
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) is listed as doubtful ahead of Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Cunningham has missed each of the last five games due to a left knee injury. The expectation is that the Pistons are going to take the cautious approach and hold out Cunningham. If he sits, Marcus Sasser figures to continue being the primary point guard for this team. He's coming off a strong 20-point performance and is an interesting streaming option until Cunningham returns.

Cade Cunningham Misses Thursday's Game
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) won't be available for Thursday's matchup against Chicago. He will miss a fifth consecutive contest after initially being considered questionable for the game. Malachi Flynn and Marcus Sasser have an opportunity to play bigger roles in the rotation without Cunningham, while Jaden Ivey gets a usage boost. He has pushed his numbers to 20.1 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 5.4 assists in games played without Cunningham this season.

Cade Cunningham Carries Questionable Tag Thursday
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Chicago. He's been out for the past four games, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him miss the rest of the campaign. The team has zero reasons to play its best player in a situation where Detroit is set to finish with the worst record in the league for the second year in a row. Jaden Ivey gets to lead the offense without Cunningham, with Marcus Sasser and Malachi Flynn in a position to see extended minutes.

Cade Cunningham Participates In Shootaround
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee), who remains listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers, participated in the morning shootaround. The last-place Pistons have no reason to push their franchise cornerstone onto the court, but Cunningham's presence at the session bodes well for his ability to suit up for Detroit despite being listed with left knee injury management on Tuesday. Over his last 11 appearances, the 22-year-old star playmaker is averaging 24.8 points, 7.8 assists, 5.3 rebounds, 1.0 steals, and 1.9 three-pointers. The Sixers are giving up the fifth-fewest points (22.9) and fourth-fewest threes (2.6) to opposing point guards, though.

Cade Cunningham Questionable Versus Philly
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the 76ers. He's missed the last three games because of left knee maintenance purposes. However, the Pistons have only four games left in their disastrous season, so the 22-year-old may not be back on the floor until the 2024-25 campaign. Of course, Cunningham's potential absence could allow Marcus Sasser, coming off an 18-point, six-assist showing on Sunday against Brooklyn, to remain relevant for fantasy managers. At the same time, Jaden Ivey, who took 21 shots versus the Nets, has a higher DFS ceiling than usual without Cunningham active.
