The news of Cade Cunningham’s collapsed lung slammed the NBA world like a runaway train on Thursday morning.
It was a shocking development and a brutal turn of events for a young basketball star in the midst of his best season yet. Cunningham has made a solid MVP case for himself with a nightly statline of 24.5 points, 9.9 assists and 5.6 rebounds while leading the Pistons to their best regular season since Ben Wallace manned the middle in Detroit. An extremely successful season has suddenly been put on hold, and the team’s primary focus is now ensuring Cunningham gets through a scary situation as smoothly as possible.
