Cade Cunningham Fantasy Stats

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.

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.

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.
