Worth watching

Not there yet, but close enough to keep an eye on in case his role grows.

  • 29 minutes a game in his last 3, up from 21; started 1 of 3.
  • 3 games this week (Nov 2–8), about a 90% chance he plays each.
  • When Cunningham sat since last season, he played 35 minutes instead of 16 (11 games).
