Cade Cunningham out with injured lung

Pistons fans got tough news yesterday: Cade Cunningham is out for an unknown amount of time with a collapsed lung.

Why it matters: Cunningham is the team's best player and the playoffs are less than a month away.

State of play: Cunningham left in the first quarter of Detroit's win on Tuesday over the Wizards.

• The team later announced an official diagnosis: a left lung pneumothorax that will be reevaluated in two weeks, the Free Press reports.

What's next: Detroit, in first place in the Eastern Conference, has 13 regular season games left.

• The NBA playoffs start April 18.
