LeVert, a Michigan alumnus, has missed 10 games due to knee soreness and tendinopathy in his first season with the Pistons.
The Pistons improved to 31-10 Monday following their 104-103 win over the Boston Celtics on Monday. At the midway point of the season, they are off to their second-best start in franchise history, behind only the 2005-06 squad that began 36-5.
Cunningham was drafted No. 1 overall in 2021 by then-Pistons GM Troy Weaver, who is now an exec for the Pelicans under former Pistons GM Joe Dumars.
