The Detroit Pistons will face the Orlando Magic in their first-round playoff series, and here are the details about Cade Cunningham's status.

The Orlando Magic are heavy underdogs in the series against the Detroit Pistons, but there are some paths to victory.

One of the major benefits of locking up the No. 1 seed in the East early by the Detroit Pistons has been getting to rest up for the postseason. Detroit still had some work to do down the stretch securing its first 60-win season in 20 years and re-introducing Cade Cunningham and Isaiah Stewart to the rotation after extended absences.

Cade Cunningham expressed immense gratitude to the league after their exception ruling for regular season awards.

Detroit hasn't won a playoff series since 2008, when it reached the conference finals for a sixth straight season to end a run that included the 2004 NBA title and coming up one victory short of repeating the next season.

The Orlando Magic are clear underdogs against the Detroit Pistons, so this is who the OnSI writers think advances to the second round.

Due to the Extraordinary Circumstances Challenge, Pistons' Cade Cunningham is now eligible for all annual awards for the 2025-26 NBA regular season.

The Detroit Pistons announced a Cade Cunningham injury update, potentially slating him for a return against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday.
