Cade Cunningham Exits Early With Back Spasms, Pistons Await Update
Posted : 18 March 2026
Detroit Pistons star guard Cade Cunningham exited Tuesday night’s win over the Washington Wizards due to back spasms and did not return to the game after early first‑quarter discomfort.
The two‑time All‑Star, who is among this season’s MVP candidates, played only about five minutes before being sidelined as a precaution.
Detroit will reassess Cunningham’s condition in the coming days as it continues to monitor his health amid a tight playoff race.
