The coaching staff is aware Cunningham is playing a lot of minutes, but it’s a balancing act as the team tries to stay competitive while awaiting the return of multiple players. “We have to be careful with that,” coach Dwane Casey said after the Pistons’ 106-102 loss to the Clippers. “That has a lot to do with Killian out. We’re competing and that’s a lot to ask of (Saben Lee) to go in there and close the game out. Cade’s producing for us. He’s getting things done in certain areas. I thought he had a good, solid defensive game. He had nine rebounds. Hard to take a guy out, but we have to watch his minutes and not worry about giving some other guys some opportunities. That will take care of itself once Killian and Rodney come back.”
