Detroit Pistons player punches Phoenix Suns squad member
Just when we thought the Detroit Pistons season couldn’t get any worse, the protagonists themselves decide to show us otherwise. The historic team is last in the Eastern Conference standings, with a poor 8-46 regular phase record. But it’s only a matter of time until all the bad things that happen on the field of play end up affecting everyday life and the everyday life of the team.
In their last performance, they were far from their best version, and fell to the Phoenix Suns 116 to 100, accumulating their third straight loss. The defeat itself is not the new thing, but what happened before the game, where the discomfort of the protagonists has reached a new level in this dispute. A few hours before the game, there was an attack between two members of the squad. As reported by renowned journalist Shams Charania, a member of The Athletic, Isaiah Stewart attacked Drew Eubanks before the game against the Suns. The situation occurred in the tunnels of the Footprint Center. The reasons for the fight are not known to the public, but it is expected that the franchise and the NBA itself may punish the players.
The players began this situation with an argument, which escalated, until it reached a head-on confrontation, when Stewart threw a punch that hit Eubanks in the face. Stadium security stepped into the middle of the situation, to prevent the main characters from further escalating the situation. The NBA has requested filming of the events, in order to make a decision about what happened. The Pistons are willing to cooperate with the information, while those from Phoenix have decided not to make statements until the NBA clarifies the situation.
Finally, Stweart was out of the game against the Suns, not because of this particular situation but because of a sprained ankle that kept him off the playing field for several weeks. It was a different story for Eubanks, who added 6 points and 6 rebounds for his team in 18 minutes on the court. Detroit’s franchise player, for his part, was arrested for assault, received a summons and was released.
