The choice of wisdom for Cade Cunningham?

The Pistons and Cade Cunningham have finally decided. Hit in the tibia since November 9, the leader of Detroit hesitated between rest and rehabilitation, or operation. The second option was chosen, which means that his season is already over.

The operation would be scheduled for this week and will require three to four months of recovery. GM Troy Weaver explained that this choice was the best for the player’s long-term health.

“Obviously we want to make sure that the player’s health comes first, so that he can continue to be the player he is and the organization wants him to be.did he declare. “Having this procedure now will help him get back to where he needs to be, so that this summer he can not only recover, but also continue to improve, work on his game and be ready for next season.”

Candidate number 1 to finish last in the East…

His coach Dwane Casey also used his influence to encourage Cade Cunningham to have surgery so that he would be permanently rid of his recurring shin pain.

“I told him that if he was my son, I would advise him to do it”, entrusted the Pistons strategist. “It is his decision and that of his family to ensure that he is well taken care of. I feel sorry for him because you can imagine the hopes and dreams he had coming into this year, until this glitch happened. It’s human nature, and that’s what caused some indecision, but he, his agent and his family, and our team, did a thorough job of making sure he made the right decision.” .

The declarations inevitably challenge when the Pistons had started their season very badly, with a record of nine defeats in their first twelve games, and that the race for “tanking” is in full swing with the prospect of hoping to recover Victor Wembanyama during the next Draft.

Without Cade Cunningham until the end of the season, Detroit now acts as the “number 1 favorite” to remain in last place in the Eastern Conference until the end of the season.
