NEW YORK — The big financial winner from this year’s All-NBA selections was the Detroit Pistons’ Cade Cunningham.
Cunningham, 23, was named to the All-NBA third team on Friday, and because of it the value of the contract extension he signed last summer escalates from $224 million up to $269 million. The Pistons’ star is the only player out of 15 to make an All-NBA team this year whose earning potential skyrocketed because of it.
