Is Pistons guard Cade Cunningham playing vs. Grizzlies? Latest

Cade Cunningham has missed his fair share of games this season, and he appears to be in danger of missing yet another contest after the Pistons listed him as “questionable” on the latest injury report submitted to the league due to left knee injury management.

Given how important Cunningham is to the franchise and their hope of turning their fortunes around in the coming years, the Pistons are well within their rights to exercise caution when it comes to the health of their franchise cornerstone. Be that as it may, the Pistons must also build winning habits on the court, and one of the strongest ways to do so is to actually put in the work during the games that count.

Nonetheless, Cade Cunningham has played in the Pistons’ past two games (a loss against the Minnesota Timberwolves, a win against the Washington Wizards), so it’s not like he’s on the likelier side of the equation when it comes to missing the upcoming contest against the Grizzlies — especially when this contest is neither the front-end nor the back-end of a back-to-back set.

The last four games Cunningham missed were in the context of a back-to-back. On March 18, he missed the second game. On March 24 and 25, the Pistons guard missed both games. And then dating back to February 7, Cunningham missed their game during that day as well with that being the first of a back-to-back.

Still, on the chance that Cunningham misses action for the Pistons, Jaden Ivey will be tasked to lead Detroit’s hapless offense. Marcus Sasser is also questionable, which means that it’s possible that the Pistons will trot out a very depleted backcourt against the Grizzlies.
