Cade Cunningham Finally Agrees to Lucrative Contract Extension with Pistons: Report

The top draft pick in 2021 has, at long last, inked a maximum deal with Detroit, and will now be under team control through 2029-30.

Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham, selected with the No. 1 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft out of Oklahoma State, has finally inked a maximum deal with the Pistons, reports Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.This news had been initially reported at the start of free agency last week, though James L. Edwards III of The Athletic had warned at the time that those reports were premature, and the team was finessing some elements of the agreement.

Across 62 healthy contests in 2023-24, Cunningham posted career-best averages of 22.7 points , 7.5 assists, 4.3 rebounds, and 0.9 steals a night. He has especially struggled to connect on the hardwood with one of Detroit's other highly-regarded young pieces, combo guard Jaden Ivey.
