Pistons center Willie Reed has been suspended six games due to an August domestic violence arrest, the NBA announced Tuesday.
Reed was arrested for misdemeanor battery after arguing with his wife when she asked for a divorce. Reed’s wife requested not to press charges and he entered a pre-trial intervention program in October.
The arrest came just one month after Reed signed with the Clippers. He was traded to the Pistons last week as part of the Blake Griffin deal and has played just nine minutes in three games for Detroit.
“The six-game suspension is based on all facts and circumstances of this matter and considers the conduct and its result, the outcome of the criminal matter, and Reed’s voluntary participation in counseling as well as the court-mandated program, among other factors,” the league said in a statement.
