With a win tonight, the @DetroitPistons can become the first Eastern Conference team to clinch a spot in the 2026 NBA Playoffs presented by Google. Detroit hosts Golden State at 7:30 PM ET on NBA League Pass.


Detroit Pistons Vs. Golden State Warriors Preview: Steph Curry, Jalen Duren Injury Updates Detroit is looking for their 3rd straight win on the second leg of a back-to-back tonight against a shorthanded Warriors squad. roundtable.io/sports/nba/pis…

By my count, there are 32 players currently eligible for MVP, All-NBA, DPOY, All-Defense and MIP awards. Here's what my All-NBA team would look like:







Starting lineups for tonight's game between the @DetroitPistons and Washington Wizards inside @CapitalOneArena:

@JimmyLiaoMD Thanks as always Doc. Is the start of the playoffs a roughly realistic expectation? Or not enough info?

Cade Cunningham pneumothorax -Likely caused by blunt trauma. Often has rib fracture. -Reports suggest mild with no hospitalization, which prob means did not need chest tube & avoided more serious tension pneumothorax -Reports say re-eval in 2wks, which would imply that the pneumothorax has already resolved on a follow-up chest XR. Excellent news there. -Avoid air travel for 1-3 weeks after resolution. -Return to play depends on severity - days to weeks. -OVERALL good news as sounds like a mild case and will be fine soon. No concern long-term.
