Yea, it took 2 weeks for me, but since the tweet says extended period, I would assume this is more serious and around the 2 month timeframe, hope I’m wrong though

Ski patrollwr here, seen many pneumothorax on the hill. Im surprised there isn’t more of that in the NBA. A spontaneous pneumothorax isn’t uncommon, especially in lean, tall men doing physical activity.

Not trying to diagnose or speculate just going off what this other guy said and my background. But if that is whay happened good news pistons fans, Cade will make a healthy recovery and probably could be ready for the playoffs (maybe a reduced load for a little). The other thing is having a pneumo is scary as fuck so im hoping cade and his family are relaxing now and can get over the mental hurdle of knowing your body failed you.

Still kinda sucks with Boston creeping up on the one seed. As long as we get him back for postseason it’s whatever I guess. 

Regardless, I doubt they are rushing him back with the playoffs coming up

Fingers crossed, cuz the playoffs are just about exactly one month away. What awful timing for Detroit.

My kid had that at birth and he was back on the boob after 5 days. Damn cushy athletes taking their rest time :p

Nic Scorton had one and returned to practice (not full contact) just 5 days later. Seems like there is a really wide range for these things.

I thought he would be out for a long time. It definitely sounds like a scary injury

TJ Watt suffered one this season, was back in around a month. Would be the best case scenario.. wishing for the best

Here are past players who had the same problem:

• CJ McCollum, 2023: Missed 12 games over 3.5 weeks
• CJ McCollum, 2021: 18 games, 6 weeks
• Terrence Jones, 2015: 6 games, 2 weeks
• Gerald Wallace, 2009: 7 games, 3 weeks

Didnt CJ McCollum have this happen? Or am I trippin

I suffered a spontaneous pneumothorax many years ago while studying music in college and playing a wind instrument. I couldn’t play for 3 months. I was actually able to resume physical activity (3 mile runs, biking to work) well before returning to the rehearsal room.

5 games is not that big lol

Holy overreaction

Make sure to choose a good route because there will certainly be traffic from when the first person gets run over

I think I saw you, I’m over at the rotisserie chickens flat on the ground. A couple people poked at me and moved on.

Man, Meijer being open 24 hours was their defining feature since I was a child 40+ years ago.

I was back in MI in maybe 2022, and headed into Meijer at 11:55 pm to get groceries for breakfast the next morning. The greeter guy was like “hey, where are you headed?”

“Uh, I just wanted to get some groceries” (in my head thinking since when do we get interviewed walking into Meijer?)

“Oh, we’re closing in 4 minutes so you don’t really have time.”

The guy must have thought I was drunk or didn’t speak English, because I just stared at him blankly. Thinking “TF you mean meijer closes? The whole point of Meijer is that it doesn’t close.”

Gutted. First we can’t go grocery shopping at 1 am and now Cade has a collapsed lung. Worst timeline.

With Pistons fans luck that was another Pistons player

you don’t know my meijer bro

What Meijer you going to? Lol

Id have my choice of autos to get trampled by.

OP is suffering from recency bias.

Yeah seeing Detroit sports fans complain about their plight is pretty funny, I can’t even imagine watching one of my teams win a title (i was 3 for the ‘01 WS and I dont think they’re gonna allow steroids again)

Red Wings were having a promising season too. Now Larkin is out for the year

What do you mean by “tanking”? This Wizards team plays hard in spite of their record. Just the other day it took 83 points from Bam to beat them.

He landed on his legs, how would that collapse his lung

It was definitely the Chargers’s team doctor.

Tyrod Taylor had his season ended this way by the chargers doc

Dry needling strikes again!

Tyrod Taylor as well.

Risk factors include being young, a man, being thin and being tall as well

I am devastated

Tomorrow Nico will join the front office

Great attitude man

Instructions unclear. Jalen Duren has suffocated to death after inhaling bubble wrap.

There might not be a second round if Cade is out that long

A lot of people have cousins with lungs

All the people who actually had collapsed lungs are too out of breath to type.
