It’s unclear exactly when Cunningham sustained the injury, though he had to leave Tuesday’s game after falling to the floor trying to pick up a loose ball. Cunningham was originally diagnosed with back spasms when he left that game.

The former No. 1 overall pick is in the midst of another excellent season with the Pistons, and is averaging 24.5 points and 9.9 assists.

This story will be updated.
