The Pistons will start the regular season without No. 1 overall pick Cade Cunningham, who suffered an ankle injury near the start of training camp.
Cunningham’s return might not be far off, though.
General manager Troy Weaver hinted Cunningham has been working his way back in practice and that the rookie could play after the Pistons return from their three-game road trip following the opener.
“He’s pretty much day-to-day, but we need to ramp him up and get some conditioning going and get him acclimated to going full speed in 5-on-5,” Weaver said Wednesday morning on the “Stoney & Jansen Show” on 97.
