Detroit Pistons' Cade Cunningham undergoes surgery for left tibial stress fracture The 2021 first overall pick will miss the rest of the season and is expected to be healthy this offseason.

DECEMBER 16, 2022 • FREEP.COM

Surgery completed Cunningham underwent successful surgery Friday to stabilize and promote healing of his left tibial stress fracture, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Impact Cunningham will miss the remainder of the 2022-23 season but is expected to return to full basketball activities this offseason. Killian Hayes should be locked in as Detroit's starting point guard the rest of the way while Cunningham is sidelined, and the second-year guard's continued absence should also free up more touches on offense for Bojan Bogdanovic, Jaden Ivey, Alec Burks and Saddiq Bey. Cunningham finishes his sophomore campaign with averages of 19.9 points, 6.2 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 1.4 three-pointers, 0.8 steals and 0.6 blocks in 33.3 minutes across 12 games.

Pistons guard Cade Cunningham to have season-ending surgery on left shin Cunningham, the No. 1 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, has been sidelined for 17 games since the Pistons' loss to the Boston Celtics on Nov. 9.

Requires season-ending surgery Cunningham (shin) will undergo season-ending surgery, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Cunningham has been out since early November due to a left shin injury, and he hinted in early December that surgery could be on the table. The 21-year-old took jumpers during pregame warmups last week, but he'll require a season-ending procedure after consulting with medical professionals. He's expected to fully recover in time for training camp ahead of the 2023-24 season, while Killian Hayes and Jaden Ivey should continue to see increased roles in Detroit's backcourt for the remainder of the year.

Puts up shots Tuesday Cunningham (shin) was spotted taking jumpers in pregame warmups ahead of Tuesday's 116-96 win over the Cavaliers, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Though putting up some shots isn't a high-intensity activity, Cunningham's participation in warmups is still somewhat perplexing, given that he's believed to be dealing with a stress fracture to his left shin that could eventually require surgery. Pistons head coach Dwane Casey has provided little insight into the team's plans for the second-year guard, telling Curtis on Monday that "nothing has changed" concerning his timeline for a return. While Cunningham doesn't appear to have been shut down from basketball-related activities entirely, he'll likely need to resume practicing in some capacity before his return can be viewed as imminent. Cunningham's fantasy managers in redraft leagues are left with few appealing options other than attempting to trade him or hoping he eventually gains clearance to play within the next several weeks.

Impact Though Casey didn't specifically say that surgery could be a possibility for Cunningham, James L. Edwards III and Shams Charania of The Athletic reported back on Nov. 19 that the second-year guard is feared to be dealing with a stress fracture to his shin that could require a procedure. For now, the Pistons are labeling Cunningham as out indefinitely, leaving open the possibility that he'll be able to play again at some point in 2022-23 if his shin responds well to extended rest. Surgery, on the other hand, would almost certainly spell an end to Cunningham's season and continue to open up more opportunities in the backcourt for the likes of Killian Hayes and Jaden Ivey.
