Former Michigan State basketball player Mat Ishbia now owns the Phoenix Suns, and on Tuesday night, Ishbia brought his Suns back to his old stomping grounds in East Lansing to face the Detroit Pistons in the Breslin Center as part of a preseason exhibition.
Before the game, Suns’ star and Grand Rapids native Devin Booker gifted a pair of shoes to the Michigan State basketball team, met with Tom Izzo, and even warmed up in full Michigan State gear.
