Detroit Pistons rookie Cade Cunningham made his NBA debut on Saturday against the Orlando Magic.

The 6-foot-8 guard was the first pick in this year's draft coming out of Oklahoma State but missed the first four games of his career with a sprained ankle.

Cunningham didn't have a tremendous start to his season, scoring just two points on 1-of-8 shooting while recording seven rebounds and two steals.

Still, Cunningham provided a jolt to the previously winless Pistons, helping them to a 110-103 win. Detroit now owns a 1-4 record.
