He becomes the sixth active NBA player to have a signature shoe deal with Nike, joining LeBron James<\/a>, Kevin Durant<\/a>, Ja Morant<\/a>, Devin Booker<\/a> and Giannis Antetokounmpo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cunningham, a first-time NBA All-Star and third-team All-NBA player in 2024-25, has elevated his game across the board this season, averaging career-highs in points (27.5), assists (9.9) and steals (1.4) to go along with 5.4 rebounds per game.<\/p>\n
