The Detroit Pistons took on the Washington Wizards on Thursday night and were forced to do so without the services of Cade Cunningham after the two-time NBA All-Star was diagnosed with a collapsed lung. Although the Pistons liked having their star guard available, they didn’t need him to beat the Wizards.

Detroit defeated Washington on Thursday night by a score of 117-95. Jalen Duren led the way for the Pistons with 24 points and 11 rebounds. Durant was one of six Pistons who scored in double figures in the 22-point win.

Halfway through the game, longtime Detroit Pistons play-by-play commentator George Blaha objected to some Wizards players laughing during a timeout.

“It’s a big joke on the Wizards bench,” Blaha said As the camera panned to Wizards guard Bub Carrington and forward Anthony Gill. “I know I would be laughed at if I lost that many games.”

Carrington finished Thursday night’s contest with just 10 points on 4-11 shooting, while Anthony Gill was held scoreless in 24 minutes of play. Still, it was a little strange to hear George Blaha – who majored in Botany in Detroit, Michigan and has been the voice of Pistons basketball since 1976 – approach some Wizards players who were resting during a timeout.

With the win, the Pistons improved to an Eastern Conference best 50–19 record. They currently have just four games left on the Boston Celtics for the second seed, but will play at least the next two weeks without Cade Cunningham.

Meanwhile, the Washington Wizards fell to 16–53 on the season, the second-worst record in the NBA behind only the 15–55 Indiana Pacers.

Orlando Magic rookie Jess Richardson gave fans a big scare at the Intuit Dome on Saturday night, but luckily, he’s leaving Los Angeles with nothing more than a bruised ego and a viral moment.

While attempting his second dunk of the 2026 NBA Slam Dunk Contest, Richardson suffered a terrible fall, hitting the back of his head on the hardwood. Despite the scary scene, the young guard quickly revealed on social media that he was “crying laughing” at the replay.

Richardson, the son of two-time dunk champion Jason Richardson, entered the night looking to keep the family legacy alive. He opened the competition with a 45.4 after hitting a clean reverse slam on a bounce-up.

However, he needed a huge score in his second attempt to keep pace with Keshad Johnson and Carter Bryant. Richardson opted for a 360 tomahawk from the side of the backboard, but he misjudged the angle, causing it to hit the board before crashing hard onto the floor.

After a few tense moments, the former Michigan State star was able to get up under his own power. He even finished the round with a safe 360 ​​slam to record the score, although a 43.4 on his attempt effectively ended his night. Richardson finished last in the field of four with a total score of 88.8, behind Jackson Hayes of the Los Angeles Lakers.

While the Orlando Magic guard isn’t adding a trophy to his dad’s, his ability to find humor in a “backboard block” has already won over social media. With Miami Heat forward Keishad Johnson finally taking home the crown, Richardson is just happy to be healthy and heading back to Orlando with a story.
