Cade Cunningham is set to return on Wednesday night for the Detroit Pistons against the Milwaukee Bucks after recovering from a collapsed left lung. This comeback follows an 11-game absence due to the injury sustained on March 17 against the Washington Wizards. The Pistons have thrived in his absence, going 8-3 and securing home-court advantage in the Eastern Conference playoffs. Initially expected to miss the remainder of the regular season, Cunningham is now ready to participate in the last three games before the playoffs kick off on April 18. While he may fall short of the 65-game threshold for postseason awards, there is a potential path for him to qualify through the "extraordinary circumstances challenge," which could be reviewed by an independent arbitrator. This season, Cunningham averages 24.5 points, 9.9 assists, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.5 steals in 34.4 minutes per game.
