Cade Cunningham is listed as questionable on the official injury report for the Detroit Pistons’ game on Friday, January 23.<\/p>\n

Down in Florida, the Detroit Pistons<\/a> are looking to bounce back with a matchup against the Miami Heat<\/a> on Sunday, March 8.<\/p>\n

Heading into the game, Cade Cunningham\u2019s<\/a> status was in question for the visiting team. The star guard recently suffered a quad-related setback, which forced him to miss the first matchup of a back-to-back set on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Before the outing against the Brooklyn Nets<\/a>, Pistons head coach JB Bickerstaff addressed the status of Cunningham. The comments suggested the setback was not a major issue for the Pistons.<\/p>\n

\u201cDeuce, I think, will be more day-to-day,\u201d Bickerstaff told reporters before the matchup<\/a>. \u201cWe\u2019ll just keep an eye on him. We\u2019ll see how he responds and how he recovers, but hopefully, it\u2019s not a long-term thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

*UPDATE: Cade Cunningham has been upgraded<\/a> to AVAILABLE vs Miami Heat<\/p>\n

Cooper Flagg (injury management) available to play Sunday.<\/p>\n

According to the official NBA<\/a> injury report, Cunningham is listed as available on Sunday. There is a strong chance he\u2019s back on the floor for the Pistons.<\/p>\n

In his last two outings, Cunningham has struggled on the offensive end of the floor. During the March 3 matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a>, Cunningham shot just 25% from the field in 38 minutes. He scored 10 points in the 113-109 loss.<\/p>\n

During the March 5 game against the San Antonio Spurs<\/a>, Cunningham checked in for 39 minutes. He knocked down 38% of his shots from the field, scoring 26 points. The Pistons dropped that game with a score of 121-106.<\/p>\n

Without Cunningham, the Pistons allowed for a comeback victory in favor of the Brooklyn Nets. The Pistons suffered a third-straight loss, falling short 107-105.<\/p>\n

Barring any unexpected changes, Cunningham should be cleared for action against the Heat on Sunday. The game tips off at 6 PM ET.<\/p>\n
