"Cade Cunningham was injured in the 1st quarter of DET vs WAS and has been ruled out. Any related player props, parlays, or SGPs are covered by Bet Protect, and bonus bets will be issued within 24 hours."
This was the outcome at FanDuel while it's unclear whether other sportsbooks followed suit.
The Detroit Pistons guard, a two-time All-Star who is among the leaders in the NBA MVP race, left Tuesday night’s game against the Washington Wizards with back spasms.
Cunningham was injured early in the first quarter while diving for a loose ball and colliding with Wizards guard Tre Johnson. The 2021 No. 1 overall draft pick took a while to get up but played for a few more minutes before being taken out at the 6:40 mark.
The team said during the second quarter he would not return. After the game, which Detroit won 130-117 for Washington’s 13th straight loss, Pistons coach J.B. Bickerstaff gave no update about the injury.
“I don’t have enough information,” he said. “It’s one of those things that unfortunately we’ve dealt with a lot this season and had to call on different guys throughout the year.”
How Bet Protect Works at FanDuel
Bet Protect is available on NBA pre-live player props that span the entire game.
If your player returns later in the game or if the injury occurs after the 1st quarter, your wager will not be eligible for Bet Protect. The injury must also be identified on game day.
Straight bets and player prop legs included in parlays, Same Game Parlays, and Same Game Parlay+ are eligible for Bet Protect.
Parlays, Same Game Parlays, Same Game Parlay+
If your player is injured in the 1st quarter and does not return to the game, Bet Protect will automatically be applied and your bet will be re-priced with new odds.
If the affected parlay leg is the only losing part of the bet, you will get paid your stake + re-priced winnings in Bonus Bets for the remaining legs at the new odds.
Please note, your bet will initially be settled as a loss once the game ends.
It may take up to 24 hours after the bet settles for the Bonus Bets to appear in your account.
