The NBA announced it suspended Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart three games without pay for “initiating a physical altercation” with Phoenix Suns center Drew Eubanks on Feb. 14. The NBA release also notes that Stewart “punched and pushed” Eubanks during the incident.
The suspension begins with tonight’s matchup between Detroit and Indiana, meaning Stewart will also miss Saturday’s home game against the Orlando Magic and a road contest Feb. 26 against the New York Knicks.
Further, Stewart’s misdemeanor assault charge has been dismissed by the Phoenix Municipal Court, according to ESPN’s Baxter Holmes.
