The Detroit Pistons lose their 2025 first-round NBA draft pick if they reach the playoffs because of the trade to acquire Isaiah Stewart in 2020.

The NBA All-Star reserves will be revealed Thursday, and Cunningham should be the first Pistons player to be selected since Blake Griffin earned the honor in 2019. He’d also be the first Detroit guard to earn an All-Star bid since Hall of Famer Allen Iverson in 2009. So what makes Cunningham an All-Star?

As of right now, the Pistons would keep their pick, as it would likely fall in the top-12, but those odds change with each win or loss and Detroit is just 1.5 games back from the 6th seed with games against the Hawks, Magic and Pacers coming up.

On Wednesday, the Pistons were flattened by their rivals from the Hickory State as they were beaten 133-119 during a game that saw Pistons center Isaiah Stewart throw a hard forearm into Pacers big man Thomas Bryant's chest.
