Former NBA Draft first pick Cunningham to miss four games with shin injury

Last year’s top overall NBA Draft pick Cade Cunningham will miss at least the next four games for the Detroit Pistons due to left shin soreness.

The Pistons made that announcement prior to Saturday’s 117-108 loss to the Boston Celtics, with the 21-year-old point guard to be re-evaluated in a week.

Cunningham is averaging 19.9 points, 6.2 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game this season for the Pistons who are 3-11.

The former Oklahoma State guard failed to score double digits for the first time this season in his last outing, Wednesday’s 128-112 loss to the Boston Celtics.

The second-year guard only played a season-low 24 minutes in Wednesday’s game and finished with four points on one-of-11 shooting.
