Pistons vs Bulls Discussion: Game Time, TV, Odds, and More

SB Nation

An unpleasant development as we approach tipoff between the Detroit Pistons and the Chicago Bulls — star point guard Cade Cunningham is out with a wrist injury. The injury was noted by the team, but officially

listed him as probable on the 12:45 p.m. injury report. By the 1 p.m. update, he was listed as questionable. By 6:15 p.m., he was listed as out. It isn’t entirely clear when he sustained the injury, but some noted instances where it could have happened during Detroit’s blowout win over the New York Knicks. Cunningham scored 29 points in 29 minutes, and there was no sign he was pulled for being less than 100 percent. Jaden Ivey will get his first start of the season in his place. Ivey has played progressively better, but on a slow rise, since returning from injury this season. He also hasn’t been incredibly ball-dominant. It will be interesting to see how he performs leading the starting offense tonight against a struggling Chicago defense. Jalen Duren and Tobias Harris also remain out, and Isaiah Stewart and Paul Reed will once again start in their place. The Bulls are also not the paragons of health as they will be missing Josh Giddey, Coby White and a pair of reserve bigs in Zach Collins and Jalen Smith.
