No. 1 pick Cade Cunningham to make NBA debut
James Edwards III: Dwane Casey said Cade Cunningham is good to make his debut. “Shorter bursts, shorter stints. We’ll have him on a minutes restriction. Let the fans know not to chant his name. The medical people will (kill me) if I play him over a certain amount of minutes.”

Cade Cunningham could make his NBA debut tonight.
