Troy Weaver: Cade Cunningham could miss road trip, make debut Oct. 30 against Magic

Already ruled out for tonight’s season-opener against the Chicago Bulls, prized No. 1 pick Cade Cunningham could also miss the team’s three-game road trip, according to Detroit Pistons general manager Troy Weaver.

Cunningham suffered an ankle injury in training camp that forced him to miss all of preseason, and the organization has never put a timetable on his return other than to say the team was being caution and that there was nothing serious. Hearing a hopeful Oct. 30 return date is the first official projection there has been so far.

Cunningham has never been seen with any kind of limp or impediment, and he’s never been seen with a brace or a walking boot so the injury has remained a bit of a mystery.
