Cade Cunningham Out Due to Hip Injury

Cade Cunningham of the Detroit Pistons has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Orlando Magic due to a left sacroiliac joint sprain sustained during a hard fall in Thursday's overtime loss to the Charlotte Hornets. Despite scoring 27 points and registering 10 assists in that game, Cunningham's injury will sideline him for the first time this season. He has been performing at an All-Star level, averaging 23.5 points, 8.9 assists, and 7.2 rebounds per game. The Pistons will look to fill his absence with increased playing time for players like Marcus Sasser and Wendell Moore. Cunningham's next opportunity to play will be on Monday against the Toronto Raptors. Additionally, Ausar Thompson has been upgraded to questionable for the upcoming game as he continues to recover from a previous blood clot issue.
