In the NBA preseason, the Bucks defeated the Pistons 117-111. After the game, Rivers was interviewed by reporters.

Talking about Cunningham's 26 points at halftime in this game, Rivers said: "I don't think there is any need to worry about this. We didn't specially arrange someone to mark him or anything like that. The problem is just that I think we pressed him hard on the court. The performance did not reach the level I expected. In addition, CC's performance was quite good. "

In this game, Pistons star Cunningham continued to perform well, playing efficiently on the offensive end and connecting the team, and clocked out after only playing half of the game.

He played 18 minutes and 30 seconds, made 8 of 14 (2 of 5 three-pointers), 8 of 8 free throws, scored 26 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals, with a plus-minus value of +13.
