The Phoenix Suns and Detroit Pistons will face off in a preseason game on October 8 at Michigan State University's Breslin Center, marking a significant homecoming for both teams' owners, Mat Ishbia of the Suns and Tom Gores of the Pistons, who are MSU alums. Ishbia, a former walk-on player for MSU's 2000 national championship team, expressed his excitement about bringing NBA basketball to his alma mater. Both owners emphasized the strong connections between their teams and the MSU community. This game is also a notable event for Suns' All-Star Devin Booker, who is from nearby Grand Rapids. Tickets for the game start at $15 and will be available beginning Tuesday. The Pistons, who last played in East Lansing in 2018, will be the home team for this exhibition match.
