Cunningham is the first Pistons player to enter the COVID health and safety protocols, but the league has been dealing with outbreaks across several other teams.

After being the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft, Cunningham is averaging 15.3 points, 6.2 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game. That hasn’t translated to wins, however, as the Pistons are just 5-25 on the season.
