The NBA is suspending Detroit Pistons big man Isaiah Stewart for three games for punching Phoenix Suns forward Drew Eubanks.

Stewart punched Eubanks on February 14 before the Suns hosted the Pistons. 

Stewart was arrested for assault after punching Eubanks in the face. The Pistons big man was issued a citation and released.

Stewart infamously got into a brawl with Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James during the 2021-22 season. Suns star Kevin Durant said was unfortunate what happened between Stewart and Eubanks.

“Keep the game first,” Durant said. “It’s unfortunate what happened before the game, it’s supposed to be a brotherhood. But I also understand, dudes get into stuff. We try to avoid that in this league, hopefully we can move on from it. We all support Drew.”
