Andre Drummond and the Pistons were joined on the bench by a special guest during Detroit’s 114–101 win over the Toronto Raptors on Sunday.

Late in the fourth quarter, with the Pistons up by 20, a young fan took the spot between Drummond and Reggie Jackson and seemed to be a bit chatty.

The Pistons won their fourth consecutive game and improved to 31–29 while Toronto fell to 39–19. Drummond, a first-time All-Star this season, scored 15 points and added 18 rebounds.
