Detroit Pistons Cade Cunningham is out against the NBA Phoenix Suns

Detroit Pistons rookie Cade Cunningham failed to finish the game in a matinee contest on Sunday against the Phoenix Suns after being ejected in the third quarter.

With the team down 89-67, Cunningham weaved through traffic and finally threw down a thunderous dunk.

An NBA official didn’t take too kindly to the young rookie after the dunk, and rated it a technical foul.

Unfortunately, it was Cunningham’s second technical foul that afternoon and resulted in the 20-year-old rookie being sent to the dressing room.

According to SI’s AllPistons, “The Pistons are currently riding a four-game winning streak at Little Caesars Arena and will definitely enjoy home field advantage on a 1 p.m. tip against a West Coast-based Phoenix team. Detroit is an 11.5-point underdog on its home court, but Detroit has retired and beaten some fine teams this year. Surprisingly, Detroit has won 10 of their last 13 matches against the Suns but is trying to avoid a 0-3 mark against Phoenix in the last three matchups.
