Pistons C Isaiah Stewart arrested for punching Suns' Drew Eubanks in face before Wednesday's game

A Wednesday game between the Detroit Pistons and Phoenix Suns had more pregame action than usual.

Pistons center Isaiah Stewart punched Suns reserve Drew Eubanks in the face during an altercation in the back tunnels of Footprint Center and was later arrested for assault. The two were reportedly chest-to-chest when Stewart took a swing that connected with Eubanks' mouth.

Police reportedly had to get involved to separate the two big men. After the game, a 116-100 Suns win, Stewart was arrested for assault, issued a citation and released, according to Mark McClune of KTVK.
