The Pistons could have their full complement of players for the first time this season when they face the Hornets on Wednesday.
Cade Cunningham and Monte Morris are listed as probable to play, James Edwards III of The Athletic tweets .
Cunningham hasn’t played since departing Detroit’s Jan. 7 game at Denver after 11 minutes with a left knee strain . The Pistons’ franchise player, who is extension-eligible after the season, has missed the past seven games. He’s averaging 22.8 points, 7.3 assists and 4.1 rebounds per contest this season.
Morris would be making his season – and Pistons – debut if he checks into the game. Morris has been sidelined due to a right quad strain. He was affected during the preseason by lower back soreness, then hurt his quad while rehabbing his back injury.
Morris was acquired from Washington in July and was expected to back up Jaden Ivey and Cunningham. He has an expiring $9.8MM contract, which could come in handy as the four-win Pistons explore trades to build a better future.
