The Detroit Pistons received a positive update on Cade Cunningham's collapsed lung injury, with the 24-year-old expected to return in April, just before the playoffs. Cunningham suffered the injury during a win over the Washington Wizards and will miss at least two weeks, but the team is optimistic about his chances of returning during the postseason.
The Pistons currently hold a 3.5-game lead over the Boston Celtics for the top spot in the Eastern Conference with 14 games remaining in the regular season. Any extended absence for Cunningham could impact the team's momentum, but the regular season is set to conclude in less than four weeks, offering some recovery window.
Cunningham has appeared in 61 games this season, averaging 24.5 points and 9.9 assists per game. While a pneumothorax, or collapsed lung, is considered rare in the NBA, it is not without precedent, with CJ McCollum having dealt with the condition twice during his career.
