MINNEAPOLIS — The return of Cade Cunningham will likely have to wait.
Cunningham is listed as doubtful for the Detroit Pistons (42-33) when they face the NBA-best Oklahoma City Thunder (63-12) on national television Wednesday night (9:30 p.m., ESPN), according to the team's injury report released Tuesday afternoon.
Cunningham has missed four straight games with a left calf contusion, with the Pistons going 3-1 over the span.
The Pistons announced Friday that Cunningham was "day-to-day" with the injury, which he sustained March 21 in a loss to the Dallas Mavericks.
"Recent imaging on Cade Cunningham’s left calf confirmed a left calf contusion that he sustained during the game last week at Dallas (3/21)," the medical update said. "He will continue his treatment regimen with the Pistons’ athletic training staff. Cunningham will be listed as day-to-day moving forward."
MAGIC NUMBER: How Pistons can clinch playoff spot
Cunningham, an All-Star for the first time this season, is averaging 25.7 points, 9.2 assists and 6.1 rebounds per game.
The Pistons, nearing a playoff berth for the first time in six years, next play Friday at the Toronto Raptors, then host the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday.
