​In what was originally tabbed as the Pistons’ final Summer League contest before a fifth Las Vegas fixture against the Miami Heat was announced yesterday, Detroit suffered another blow in a 100-88 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday night.Now standing at 1-3 in the July tournament, the Pistons started off remarkably slowly and allowed the Suns to score 10 consecutive points off the jump before Brice Williams put Detroit on the scoreboard with a long two-pointer from the wing. After that, Williams continued to pull the trigger when he was within range, which is a scenario that played out early and often for the Pistons. Williams amassed 24 points for Detroit by the end of the third quarter, but the Nebraska product was unable to add to that total in the final frame as the Suns pulled away for a 12-point victory.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIn between Phoenix’s hot start and quality finish, the Pistons battled back to make it a competitive game throughout the middle two quarters. At one point, the Pistons pulled ahead for a brief one-point lead, but the Suns broke out of their lull just in time to close out the game.SUNS vs PISTONS | LAS VEGAS SUMMER LEAGUE | FULL GAME HIGHLIGHTS | July 15, 2026 SUNS vs PISTONS | LAS VEGAS SUMMER LEAGUE | FULL GAME HIGHLIGHTS | July 15, 2026 The Suns defeated the Pistons, 100-88 tonight in Vegas.

Jones took the second-most shots on the night for Detroit, so the big man stepped up to the task with a lot of volume and made his attempts from the field count. Jones has already proven that he can contribute at an NBA level, but it is a positive to see the former Sacramento King produce such an impactful stat line in the Summer League as he fights for a spot in Detroit’s regular season rotation.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementAs for rookie Ebuka Okorie, the former Stanford guard had a slightly quieter performance with 16 points (5-for-17 from the field), three rebounds, five assists and four turnovers in the matchup. However, Okorie is still adjusting to the pace of professional hoops, and the regularity of Summer League games is a facet that will understandably test any rookie. On defense, Okorie looked stout at the point-of-attack and fought through screens and slipped over top of the pick to stick with his assignment on multiple occasions, so the first-rounder did put some positive tape out there on both sides of the ball against Phoenix.NBA Summer League: Detroit Pistons’ Chaz Lanier Expects ‘A Lot Of Versatility’ From New Teammates NBA Summer League: Detroit Pistons’ Chaz Lanier Expects ‘A Lot Of Versatility’ From New Teammates After another strong shooting performance from three-point range, Detroit Pistons guard Chaz Lanier shared his
