Los Angeles — Pistons guard Cade Cunningham is currently mulling options to determine if surgery is needed to treat his left shin injury, a league source confirmed to The Detroit News on Saturday.
The second-year guard has missed the last five games due to soreness in his left shin that dates back to the preseason. Cunningham is weighing rest, the least invasive option, and surgery, which would keep him sidelined for indefinitely.
Cunningham is averaging 19.9 points, 6.2 rebounds and 6.0 assists.
National NBA reporter Marc Stein was first to report the news.
