Pistons Guard Cade Cunningham Has Collapsed Lung, Will Miss at Least 2 Weeks
Cade Cunningham, averaging 24.5 points and 9.9 assists, suffered the injury after a collision and will miss multiple weeks, impacting Detroit's playoff positioning.
- Thursday, ESPN's Shams Charania reported Cade Cunningham was diagnosed with a collapsed lung and will miss an extended period, less than 48 hours after Tuesday's game exit.
- A collision while diving for a loose ball led Cunningham to leave early after playing five minutes, with the injury first described as back spasms before escalating to a collapsed lung.
- On Thursday, Cunningham is averaging 24.5 points, 9.9 assists, 5.6 rebounds, and has played 61 games, risking missing the 65-game award threshold.

- With 14 games remaining, the Detroit Pistons hold a 3.5-game lead while playoffs start April 18 or 19, but Cunningham's return needs careful medical monitoring.
