NOVEMBER 19 CADE CUNNINGHAM IS OUT INDEFINITELY
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham is out indefinitely due to a stress fracture in his shin, as first reported by The Athletic.
In 12 games this season, Cunningham averaged 19.9 points on 41.5 percent shooting from the floor, 6.2 rebounds and 6.0 assists. The Pistons have notched a 3-14 record after losing to the Los Angeles Lakers Friday night.
NOVEMBER 13 KYRIE SUSPENSION UPDATE
The Brooklyn Nets seem to have turned a corner lately, as they’ve won four of their last five games. Coincidentally, that turn has happened with star point guard Kyrie Irving being sidelined due to a team suspension stemming from him refusing to state that he doesn’t hold any anti-Semitic beliefs.
According to Nets owner Joe Tsai, it looks like it could still be a while before Irving returns, but that might be a bad thing for Brooklyn based on how it has played with his distractions being gone.
“He still has work to do,” Tsai told the New York Post. “He has to show people he’s sorry. What’s important — and what people miss — is he only apologized after he was suspended.”
