Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (wrist) was cleared to play Saturday against the Pacers, shaking off a probable tag due to a right wrist contusion. He contributed 16 points (6-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 5 assists, and 3 rebounds across 21 minutes in the 121-76 win, tying team highs in points and assists. Cunningham, who tried a different wrist wrap, did not play in the fourth quarter due to the blowout. This performance follows a challenging 10-point, 3-for-16 shooting game against the Suns. Over five appearances this month, he's averaging 22.6 points, 9.4 assists, 4.8 rebounds, 1.2 steals, and 1.2 blocks.
