Pistons guard Cade Cunningham is out indefinitely as the team is concerned that he has a stress fracture in his shin, The Athletic’s Shams Charania reports. Cunningham still has to determine whether he wants to undergo surgery or if he just wants to rest as his injury heals.
According to Charania, Cunningham would like to avoid surgery if possible, but it is not out of the question that he will eventually need a procedure.
Cunningham, the No. 1 overall pick out of Oklahoma State in the 2021 NBA draft, finished third in NBA Rookie of the Year voting last season.
