Cade Cunningham will undergo season-ending surgery on his left shin. Cunningham took a month to see if rest and rehabilitation would allow for the shin to improve but made the decision on Monday to move forward with the season-ending procedure.
Cunningham is expected to make a full recovery before the Detroit Pistons begin training camp in 2023.
Cunningham played in just 12 games this season, averaging 19.9 points, 6.2 rebounds and 6.0 assists in 33.4 minutes. Cunningham was the No. 1 draft pick in the 2021 draft out of Oklahoma State.
