Pistons star Cade Cunningham has been diagnosed with a mild collapsed lung, sidelining him for an extended period, with a re-evaluation scheduled in two weeks. The 24-year-old MVP candidate, averaging 24.5 points and 9.9 assists, is uncertain for the upcoming NBA playoffs starting April 18, which could impact the Pistons’ strong playoff hopes. His absence has already affected the team’s championship odds, now at +700. Cunningham previously led Detroit to its first playoff appearance in six seasons last year.
