Holder with the Pistons this season, Killian Hayes has revived with good performance in the role of leader. He especially benefits from the absence of Cade Cunningham, which will ultimately be longer than expected. A golden opportunity for the French… as well as the Lakers. It’s up to them to take advantage of it.
Beaten by the Lakers this Sunday evening, we suspected that the Pistons were not going to have a great basketball season. The franchise is left with a record of 7 wins for 22 losses, and very bad news with the injury of Cade Cunningham. The point guard has been out for several weeks to consider all options regarding a shin problem. He just decided.
Horrible news from the side of the Pistons
According to information from Adrian Wojnarowski, Cade… won’t be returning from exercise. Number 2 simply decided to go through the operating table. The latter will not allow him to return for months, thus forcing him to forfeit for the future. The misfortune of some is the happiness of others, since Hayes will therefore remain incumbent until the end.

Cade Cunningham planned to have season-ending left shin surgery
Quite horrible news for the former draft number 1, who was to continue his strong rise in Michigan. He will finally have to wait for the 2023/24 financial year, he who will be ready for training camp, in the best of scenarios. This news is good for Hayes, but not only.
For the Lakers, interested in the performance of Bojan Bogdanovic, this is an important indication. The Pistons have nothing left to play, which means that trading the best elements of the roster is a possibility. It’s probably time to sell in Detroit.
Fire sale. Tank for wembenyama time. We need bogie!

Start sales. Take out the tank for Wembanyama. We need Bogie!
Sad news for the Pistons, who will not find Cade Cunningham for the season. Killian Hayes will therefore remain a starter, allowing him to fill up with confidence, at least if that is possible. The Lakers, they will not be far with the soap opera Bojan Bogdanovic. Action is expected by February.
