During every Pistons Summer League game, the team’s “veterans” sit courtside to support the rookies and other up-and-coming players on the extended roster. Some of them, like star guard Cade Cunningham, are just a year removed from playing in the NBA’s annual summer tournament. Others, such as Killian Hayes, Isaiah Stewart and Isaiah Livers, are resting after participating

Detroit rested rookie guard Jaden

Isaiah Livers easily could have sulked last summer, and nobody would have blamed him.
