Cade Cunningham is introduced before his return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Bucks.<\/p>\n

DETROIT (AP) \u2014 Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham is expected to return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks.<\/p>\n

Cunningham has been sidelined since March 19 after sustaining a collapsed lung<\/a> in a win over the Washington Wizards.<\/p>\n

Cunningham is averaging 24.5 points, 9.9 assists and 5.6 rebounds in 61 games this season.<\/p>\n

He is considered a very strong candidate for All-NBA First Team honors<\/a>, but he will only reach 64 games even if he plays in Detroit\u2019s three remaining games. The NBA requires players to play 65 games to be eligible for seasonal awards.<\/p>\n

The Pistons (57-22) have clinched the No. 1 seed<\/a> in the Eastern Conference. They have also won the Central Division for the first time in 18 years and are hoping to win their first playoff series since the 2007-08 season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cade Cunningham is introduced before his return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Bucks.
