Pistons' Jonas Jerebko faces possible suspension for fight in preseason opener

AUBURN HILLS -- Detroit Pistons rookie Jonas Jerebko and the Miami Heat's Jamaal Magloire were ejected with 5:04 to play in Monday's preseason game for throwing punches.

Both players likely will face additional league punishments that might include a suspension.

The incident occurred when both players were going for a rebound. Their arms got tangled, and as both were falling toward the floor, Magliore landed a blow to Jerebko's face. As they hit the ground, Jerebko landed a blow to Magloire's face.

"He got me on the nose, and I got him back," Jerebko said. "What can I say?"

Jerebko, like Detroit's other rookies, has shown a willingness to get physical.

"We're rookies, but if you get us, we have to get you back," he said.

I didn't see him hit back either, but I'm glad he did. Unless its a very important game, if someone hits you, you have to hit them back.

I wish I would have seen what JJ did back. It looked like he tried to push himself away from Magloire, but the replays I saw on FSN didn't show anything to warrant the one game suspension he was given.
