Cade Cunningham suffered a collapsed lung after a rib collision, forcing him home and delaying his return as he is reevaluated in two weeks.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham has a collapsed left lung and will be reevaluated in two weeks. Doctors say it’s likely a mild pneumothorax for a healthy young athlete, typically treated as an outpatient with healing often occurring on its own. A chest tube is only needed in more severe cases. If recovery goes as hoped, he could miss roughly nine games, keeping playoff hopes alive while the timeline remains uncertain.

Detroit star Cade Cunningham has been diagnosed with a left pneumothorax (collapsed lung) and will be reevaluated in two weeks, signaling an extended absence. The Pistons confirmed the diagnosis after Shams Charania first reported the issue, with speculation that return timing could mirror CJ McCollum’s 2021-22 recovery but remaining unclear.

New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum has been diagnosed with a collapsed lung, marking the second time in two years. McCollum will undergo further testing to determine the next steps in his healing process. The Pelicans' backcourt, already dealing with injuries, will likely see Dyson Daniels move into the starting lineup and Kira Lewis Jr. receive more playing time in McCollum's absence. McCollum leads the team in minutes, assists, and ranks second in scoring average and three-point percentage per game.
