Cunningham had been sidelined for over a month for shin soreness and surgery had been noted as a potential option for quite some time. By electing to undergo surgery, he will effectively miss the rest of the season.

With Cunningham out, the Pistons are likely headed towards another top pick in the 2023 Draft. Expect guards such as Jaden Ivey and Killian Hayes to have major roles for the rest of the season.
