Ausar Thompson takes an elbow to the face against the Washington Wizards. / @BleacherRepor
The Detroit Pistons beat the Washington Wizards 123-103 on Tuesday night. Ausar Thompson had eight points and five rebounds in 20 minutes. Thompson started, but played just over two minutes in the fourth quarter. Unfortunately, that was more than enough time for him to take a brutal shot to the jaw.
Wizards center Richaun Holmes had the ball after a missed shot by the Pistons and was surrounded by Thompson and Tobias Harris. Holmes did not like the full court defense so he started swinging his elbows to get some space. On one of them he caught Thompson flush. No flop required.
