DETROIT, Feb. 16, 2025 ~ Detroit Pistons’ point guard Cade Cunningham made his NBA All-Star Game debut Sunday night in San Francisco. Cunningham finished with five points, an assist, and a rebound in the 41-32 opening round loss for Kenny’s Young Stars against Chuck’s Global Stars.
Checking in after the first TV timeout, Cunningham knocked down a 3-pointer and found fellow 2021 draft pick Evan Mobley for an alley-oop dunk. He played a total of five minutes in the game.
Cunningham threw down an impressive one-handed jam for two of his five points in the first game of the night.
