Cade Cunningham on Ejection: I Was Pointing to My 'People' Behind Pistons' Bench
Detroit Pistons star Cade Cunningham was ejected from Sunday's 135-108 loss to the Phoenix Suns after picking up his second technical foul following a dunk in the third quarter.
Cunningham beat Cameron Payne along the baseline and threw down a reverse slam over the Suns guard. He then appeared to point toward Payne before running back on defense, and the officiating crew tossed him from the game for a "physical taunt for pointing at the defender."
After the loss, Cunningham told reporters he wasn't pointing toward Payne, but rather toward his friends and family behind the bench. He also acknowledged that he should have assessed the situation better.
