Cade Cunningham
March 2026
Cade Cunningham exited Detroit’s game against Washington with back spasms after getting hurt early in the first quarter. The injury is significant because he had already missed games this season and is close to the appearance threshold for major postseason awards. Cunningham was injured while diving for a loose ball, briefly tried to continue, then was taken out and ruled out for the rest of the game. He entered the night averaging 25 points, 10 assists and 5.6 rebounds and had played 61 games this season.
