Thu Apr 217:06Cade Cunningham Making Progress in Collapsed Lung Recovery
According to Eric Vincent of ClutchPoints.com, Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham (lung) continues to make progress in his return to play from his collapsed lung recovery and will be re-evulated in one week. The Pistons are optimistic that Cunningham may return for the playoffs, and they haven't ruled out his return before the end of the regular season. Fantasy managers should expect Daniss Jenkins and Marcus Sasser (hip) to have heavier workloads until the superstar guard recovers and is back in action.

Thu Mar 1916:04Cade Cunningham Will Miss at Least Two Weeks
Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham (lung) will miss at least two weeks, according to the official team update, as he deals with a left collapsed lung. He will be re-evaluated at that time, although this kind of injury usually sidelines players a little longer than just two weeks. There is still optimism that he'll be back for the playoffs, but he may come up short of qualifying for postseason awards if he doesn't play any more games. This is also a huge hit for the Pistons, who are the top seed in the Eastern Conference and have looked like title contenders. In the short term, Daniss Jenkins and Marcus Sasser will fill in for Cunningham, who was averaging 24.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, 9.9 assists, and 1.5 steals. Jalen Duren and the rest of the rotation will all get more usage as the team battles to stay atop the Conference while Cunningham recovers. The timeline is still uncertain, but he'll be out until at least early April.

Thu Mar 1909:40Cade Cunningham to Miss "Extended Period of Time" Due to Collapsed Lung
Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham has been diagnosed with a collapsed lung and is expected to miss an extended period of time, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. This is a massive blow for the Eastern Conference-leading Pistons, who have looked like title contenders this season. Cunningham has led the way for the team, averaging 24.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, 9.9 assists, and 1.5 steals. With Cunningham out, Daniss Jenkins and Marcus Sasser will move up on the depth chart. Jenkins has consistently performed well without Cunningham and could be a difference-maker for fantasy teams. He has averaged 14.8 points, 2.9 rebounds, 7.0 assists, and 1.3 steals as a starter this season.

Wed Mar 1820:09Cade Cunningham Ruled Out Thursday
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (back) will sit out Thursday's game against the Wizards after exiting Tuesday's contest and missing practice Wednesday. His absence should open another starting opportunity for Daniss Jenkins, who posted 11 points, one rebound, nine assists, and two steals in 36 minutes in his last start on March 7. Jenkins offers short-term streaming appeal for assists during the fantasy playoffs, while Jalen Duren and Tobias Harris should see more scoring chances with Cunningham out. Cunningham managers should monitor his status closely with another game scheduled Friday.

Tue Mar 1720:08Cade Cunningham Exits After Five Minutes Tuesday
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (back) will not return to Tuesday's game against Washington after experiencing back spasms in the opening minutes, finishing with six points, two rebounds, and one steal in five minutes. His absence should open short-term opportunities for Marcus Sasser and Caris LeVert, with Sasser offering scoring and assists upside in deeper leagues. Daniss Jenkins could also see extra run as a speculative deep-league option. Cunningham should be considered day-to-day, while Jalen Duren and Tobias Harris may also take on more offensive responsibility if he misses more time.

Wed Feb 419:23Cade Cunningham Might Not Play Against Washington
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (wrist) is questionable for Thursday's meeting with the visiting Wizards. The Pistons will face the Knicks on Friday, so Cunningham might get the night off to rest for the clash versus one of the worst teams in the National Basketball Association. If the 24-year-old doesn't suit up, Daniss Jenkins, averaging 15.3 points, 6.7 assists, and 1.1 steals in seven starts this season, is the favorite to replace him in the rotation. Kevin Huerter (trade pending), who is questionable, may also receive some meaningful minutes right out of the gate.

Sun Jan 2508:39Cade Cunningham Likely to Play Sunday vs. Kings
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (wrist) is listed as probable for Sunday's matchup against Sacramento after returning Friday from a brief absence. The designation appears precautionary, and he is expected to handle his normal workload if cleared. Cunningham logged 12 points, eight assists, two steals, and one rebound in 38 minutes in his return, a reminder that his usage remains secure despite a recent dip in scoring efficiency. If active, Cunningham's presence pushes Daniss Jenkins back into a limited bench role after the rookie posted 17 points, four assists, two steals, and two blocks in 26 minutes as a spot starter.

Fri Jan 2318:40Cade Cunningham is Upgraded to Available on Friday
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (hip, illness) has been upgraded to available ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. Cunningham was able to make it through shootaround and will return to the court after missing Wednesday's contest. The return of Cunningham should shift Daniss Jenkins back to the second unit. He dropped 17 points with Cunningham sidelined, but he won't be an appealing streaming option while playing with the second unit. Cunningham has been a stud this season and needs to be started in all formats. Fantasy managers should double-check their lineups and get Cunningham active ahead of tip-off.

Thu Jan 2220:15Cade Cunningham Listed as Questionable for Friday
Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham (hip, illness) is listed as questionable for Friday night's action against the Houston Rockets. He's dealing with a hip contusion and an illness, and these issues might keep Cunningham on the shelf for a second consecutive game. If that's the case, Daniss Jenkins will continue in a starting role. He totaled 17 points, one rebound, four assists, two blocks, and two steals in Wednesday's win over the Indiana Pacers. Friday's matchup will be much tougher, but Jenkins could still make some noise in a larger role.

Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham (wrist) will be active against the Indiana Pacers on Saturday. The team has upgraded his status from probable to available. Cunningham has been dealing with a wrist contusion in his shooting hand. He shot only 18.8 percent from the field in Thursday's win over the Phoenix Suns. However, the Pistons star is in a good bounce-back spot on Saturday, as the Pacers have not been a good team this season.

Fri Jan 1620:24Cade Cunningham Considered Probable for Saturday
Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham (wrist) is on the injury report with a probable tag ahead of Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Cunningham returned from a right wrist injury in Thursday's win over the Phoenix Suns and is expected to make a second consecutive appearance. It's possible Cunningham was still bothered by the injury to his shooting hand against Phoenix, as he managed only 10 points with a very poor 3-for-16 efficiency. Detroit's star man salvaged his fantasy line a bit with 11 assists. If Cunningham suits up on Saturday, he'll be expected to bounce back in a much more favorable matchup.

Cunningham has been outstanding all season, and his recent form is particularly noteworthy. Detroit's ascending star has recorded five double-doubles in his last seven appearances, averaging 27.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 11.7 assists, and 2.0 steals.

Sat Jan 1014:24Cade Cunningham Questionable Versus Clippers
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (wrist) could miss Saturday's meeting with the Clippers. He has a contusion on his right wrist, keeping him off the floor for Wednesday's win over the Chicago Bulls. Jaden Ivey ended up replacing him in the rotation, although he had only eight points. While Daniss Jenkins struggled even more offensively, he still did something for fantasy managers by amassing 15 assists. If Cunningham isn't back for this one, Ivey and Jenkins can both be considered risky, high-upside fantasy options.
