Pistons' Cunningham out at least another week

Cade Cunningham will remain out for at least another week, extending the Detroit Pistons star’s recovery timeline after a collapsed left lung.

The Pistons said Thursday that Cunningham will be re-evaluated in one week. The update does not include a firm return date, but reporting around the team said Detroit remains optimistic he could return in time for the playoffs.

Cunningham was first listed on the NBA injury report on March 19 with a left lung pneumothorax. At that time, the outlook was already open-ended, and this latest update pushes his return back again.

The new timeline keeps Cunningham sidelined as the Pistons continue to manage the injury carefully. His status will now depend on how he responds over the next week and whether the team decides he is ready to return to play.

For Detroit, the update is another reminder that Cunningham’s recovery remains measured in weeks rather than days, even as the team waits for more clarity on his playoff availability.
