Projected No. 1 pick Cade Cunningham misses Baylor game due to COVID-19 protocols, unclear how long he’ll be out

By ADAM ZAGORIA

Cade Cunningham, the projected No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft, sat out Oklahoma State’s 81-66 loss to No. 2 Baylor Saturday due to COVID-19 protocols and it remains unclear how long he will be out.

Oklahoma State is due to visit Iowa State Monday.

Mike Boynton said on his postgame Zoom that Cade Cunningham is "not in any position to play a game right now." He's been cleared to do some physical activity. "He's not to the point where he can participate in games."

Boynton also added that Rondel Walker had an arm injury.

The 6-foot-7 Cunningham leads the Big 12 in scoring at 17.8 points per game and many were looking forward to him battling Baylor star Jared Butler.

Oklahoma State missed nearly a week of practice after having to shut down all team activities last Friday because of COVID-19 issues.
