Pistons' Andre Drummond ejected for pushing Pelicans' Tim Frazier

NEW ORLEANS -- Andre Drummond was ejected from the Detroit Pistons' game against the Pelicans for shoving New Orleans' Tim Frazier in the back of the head after the whistle.

Frazier, a 6-foot-1 point guard, ripped away a defensive rebound from the 6-11 Drummond underneath the Pelicans' basket with 1:23 to play in the third quarter. Drummond then grabbed Frazier's left arm and tried to wrap him up around the waist, leading to a personal foul call.

As they jostled for position, Frazier tried to forcefully break away and Drummond responded by shoving Frazier in the back of his head with his right arm.
