The Detroit Pistons host the Brooklyn Nets tonight. Tipoff is at 7:00 on 99.3 the Lift.
New Pistons center Willie Reed has been suspended without pay for six games by the NBA, following a domestic violence incident involving his wife. Reed was arrested August 5th after an altercation. His wife later said the incident had been blown out of proportion, and asked that the charges be dropped. Reed avoided legal action by participating in a counseling program. The NBA Players Association says it will challenge the suspension, which is scheduled to begin tonight. Reed was obtained by the Pistons from the Clippers in last week’s Blake Griffin deal.
