Set to sign five-year extension

Cunningham plans to sign a five-year, $226 million max extension with the Pistons, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Analysis

Cunningham has been a bright spot for the Pistons since being selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. He missed most of the 2022-23 campaign due to a left shin injury, but he bounced back last year, averaging 22.7 points, 7.5 assists and 4.3 rebounds in 33.5 minutes per game over 62 regular-season appearances. He missed the end of the season due to left knee tendinopathy but should be back to full health for the start of the 2024-25 campaign.
