1989-90 Detroit Pistons Preseason Recap (ft. Isiah Thomas-Mike Gminski Scuffle)



The defending NBA champion Detroit Pistons went 5-3 during the 1989-90 preseason, highlighted by a skirmish between James Edwards, Isiah Thomas, and Philadelphia 76ers center Mike Gminski. The brief altercation would serve as a sort of bookend to the regular season. The Pistons and 76ers would square off in a second, much more notorious altercation in April, sometimes dubbed the original Malice at the Palace, involving Charles Barkley, former Pistons forward Rick Mahorn, and the entire Pistons roster (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IE2e86u3gBQ&t=7s&ab_channel=RyanVanDusen).
