Cade Cunningham has double-double in return from injury as Pistons rout Bucks 137-111

Cade Cunningham had 13 points and 10 assists in his return from injury as the Detroit Pistons beat the Milwaukee Bucks 137-111 in their home finale on Wednesday night. Cunningham hadn't played since sustaining a collapsed lung in a win against the Washington Wizards on March 17, but appeared comfortable while playing 26 minutes in short stints. Jalen Duren added 21 points and nine rebounds as the Pistons won for the sixth time in eight games.

Welcome back, Cade Cunningham. In a statement performance for the Detroit Pistons' home finale, the star guard returned from a scary collapsed lung injury to post a smooth 13-point, 10-assist double-double, leading his team to a dominant 137-111 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks.

Playing for the first time since March 17th, Cunningham looked right at home, distributing the ball with ease and knocking down 6 of 11 shots in 26 minutes of controlled action. His poised return provided a major spark for a Pistons squad that has now won six of its last eight, showing the kind of explosive, team-first basketball that defines the modern game.

He wasn't alone in the spotlight. Second-year big man Jalen Duren was a force inside, adding 21 points and 9 rebounds, while the team's balanced attack saw Duncan Robinson contribute 20 points. With the win, the surging Pistons (58-22) have a chance to hit the 60-win mark for the first time in nearly two decades if they can close out the season strong.

For the Bucks, it was another tough night in a difficult stretch, despite a 23-point effort from Ryan Rollins. The Pistons, meanwhile, showcased their depth and resilience, also welcoming back Isaiah Stewart from injury. This commanding win, fueled by Cunningham's return, sends a clear message about Detroit's bright future as the regular season winds down.
