NBA
The Pistons lost to the Suns 116-100 last evening. Newcomer Simone Fontecchio led Detroit with 18 points.
The Pistons will take a week off for the all star break, and return to action at Indiana a week from tonight.
Before last night’s game, Detroit’s Isaiah Stewart punched Phoenix player Drew Eubanks. The incident happened at the Footprint Center loading dock, near the team buses. There’s no word as to what started the altercation. Police were called. Stewart was reportedly arrested, issued a citation, and released from custody. The NBA is reviewing the situation. Both teams released statements, with the Pistons saying they’re gathering and reviewing information, and the Suns calling the punch an unprovoked act of unacceptable violence. Stewart is currently sidelined, recovering from a sprained ankle.
MLB
The Brewers have traded pitcher Clayton Andrews to the Yankees. Andrews had been designated for assignment last week, following the signing of right-hander Jakob Junis. In exchange, Milwaukee gets 19-year-old pitching prospect Joshua Quezada.
Meanwhile, as Milwaukee pitchers and catchers report to training camp today, there’s still no word on the status of the deal between the club and free agent catcher Gary Sánchez. The agreement was first reported a week ago, but no official confirmation has been announced.
