As the defeats continued to pile up and frustration with yet another underwhelming season looked to be at its climax, Andre Drummond appeared to reach his tipping point last week in Detroit.



It was halftime of the Raptors-Pistons game. The Pistons were trailing their border rival by 13, and bench players stepped onto the court to provide encouragement. Four of the five players who closed the second quarter for Detroit took the regular route to the locker room, smacking hands with those supportive teammates as they walked toward the tunnel behind the bench. The only one who deviated from the norm was Drummond, who exited the court on the opposite side and took an alternate hallway to the locker room, nearly brushing shoulders with the halftime entertainment crew in the process. A few teammates who were waiting to greet Drummond stared at him intently, expecting the 26-year-old to eventually turn around. He just kept walking.
