Confirmed! The top draft pick has pneumothorax! Another NBA star suddenly collapses.

The Pistons officially announced:Cunningham suffers from left-sided pneumothorax (lung collapse) and will be reevaluated after two weeks.

As a result, Cunningham is likely to return before the playoffs begin, but may miss eligibility for major regular-season awards due to not meeting the 65-game requirement.

So far this season, this guy has played 61 games, averaging 34.4 minutes per game with contributions of 24.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, 9.9 assists, and 1.5 steals, with shooting percentages of 46.1%, 34.6%, and 81.4%.

Currently, the Pistons hold the top spot in the East with a record of 49 wins and 19 losses, with 14 regular-season games remaining, the last one being against the Pacers on April 13.

It's worth noting that the Pistons' position as the East leader is not secure, as the second-place Celtics trail by only 3.5 games.

In summary, Cunningham's sudden collapse late in the regular season is a significant blow to both him and the Pistons, and may reshuffle the Eastern Conference championship landscape.

This guy was born on September 25, 2001, stands 6'6" with a wingspan of 7'0", is the No. 1 pick of the 2021 draft, a new All-Star Eastern Conference starter, and signed a five-year $269 million super-max contract two years ago.
