  • Detroit Pistons' star guard Cade Cunningham has suffered a collapsed lung, an injury that will sideline him for at least two weeks.
  • The exact timeline for Cunningham's return remains uncertain, with a longer absence from the court possible.
  • The injury occurred during Tuesday's victory over Washington when he collided with an opposing player after diving for a loose ball.
