Detroit Pistons All-Star guard Cade Cunningham is expected to make his return to the court on Wednesday against the visiting Milwaukee Bucks, ESPN reported.

Cunningham has been recovering from a collapsed left lung, an injury sustained on March 17 in a contest against the Washington Wizards. He has missed the team's last 11 games.

Cunningham will look to get up to speed with Detroit having clinched the top seed in the Eastern Conference. The Pistons (57-22) have three games remaining before the start of the playoffs.

Cunningham, 24, is averaging 24.5 points, 9.9 assists and 5.6 rebounds in 61 games this season.

A two-time All-Star, Cunningham is averaging 22.6 points, 7.9 assists and 5.4 rebounds in 269 career games (all starts) since the Pistons selected him with the top overall pick of the 2021 NBA Draft.
