Pistons' Cunningham Questionable for Showdown with Maxey's 76ers
15 Nov
Summary
- Detroit Pistons' star Cade Cunningham questionable for game against Philadelphia 76ers
- Cunningham is an MVP candidate, averaging 27.5 points, 9.9 assists, 5.4 rebounds
- 76ers led by Tyrese Maxey's 32.1 points per game
On November 15, 2025, the Detroit Pistons, the top-seeded team in the Eastern Conference with a 10-2 record, are set to face off against the third-seeded Philadelphia 76ers (7-4) in a highly anticipated matchup. However, the Pistons have been dealt a concerning blow as the availability of their star player, Cade Cunningham, has been called into question.
According to the team's update, Cunningham, who has risen to the 6th spot on the NBA's MVP ladder, is listed as questionable for the game due to a left hip contusion. The 6-foot-6 floor general has been a driving force behind the Pistons' recent success, averaging an impressive 27.5 points, 9.9 assists, 5.4 rebounds, and 1.4 steals per game on a 53.8% true shooting percentage.
If Cunningham is unable to suit up, the Pistons will have to rely heavily on their 21-year-old center Jalen Duren, who is also listed as questionable with a right ankle sprain. In the event that both Cunningham and Duren are sidelined, the Pistons may turn to their sixth-year center Paul Reed, who is coming off a standout performance against the Chicago Bulls earlier this week.
The 76ers, led by the high-scoring Tyrese Maxey (32.1 points per game), will be looking to capitalize on the Pistons' potential absences and secure a crucial victory that could shift the momentum in the Eastern Conference standings.
