Cade Cunningham Returns From Collapsed Lung With a Double-Double

Cade Cunningham missed nearly three weeks with a collapsed left lung — one of the scariest injuries in recent NBA memory. On Wednesday night, he walked back onto the court and immediately looked like the All-Star who led Detroit to the East's No. 1 seed.

In just 26 minutes of action, Cade posted 13 points and 10 assists. A double-double in his first game back. Meanwhile, Jalen Duren dominated inside with 21 points and 9 rebounds as the Pistons routed the Bucks in their final home game of the regular season.

The Pistons don't need Cade to be Superman right away — they've held it together without him. But having him back, looking comfortable, making plays? That's a terrifying sight for the rest of the East. Detroit is locked into the No. 1 seed and now they're getting their best player back just in time for the playoffs.
