Before you get hit by Hayes, Wagner had been pushed in the back by Hamidou Diallo, another Pistons player, and seemed K.-O. The situation then escalated; in general, and Hayes, like Wagner and Diallo, were expelled.

The 21-year-old Franco-American, trained in to Cholet, could pay very dearly for this freak out.
