Cade Cunningham secured a five-year, $224 million rookie extension with the Detroit Pistons, potentially rising to $269 million.
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham has agreed to a five-year, $224 million maximum rookie extension that could potentially reach $269 million, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Cunningham, who was the top overall pick in the 2021 NBA draft, showcased solid statistics last season, averaging 22.7 points, 7.5 assists, and shooting 86.9 percent from the free-throw line.
He stood out during scrimmages against Team USA in the summer of 2023, which bolstered his confidence for what has become a career-best season.
The former Oklahoma State standout was eager to make an impact ahead of the 2023-24 season after being sidelined for nearly all of 2022-23 due to a stress fracture in his shin. He played in only 12 games following a promising rookie campaign where he appeared in 64 matches.
