Isaiah Stewart’s Suspension Comes at Terrible Time for First-Place Pistons

The NBA officially announced suspensions for four players following Monday’s ugly brawl between the Pistons and Hornets. Detroit’s Isaiah Stewart headlines the group, earning a seven-game suspension that will last through the All-Star break and into March. His teammate, All-Star center Jalen Duren, will miss two games, while the two Charlotte players most heavily involved, Moussa Diabaté and Miles Bridges, will miss four games each.

Stewart has been a high-impact player for Detroit, averaging 10.1 points, 5.1 rebounds and a career-high 1.7 blocks per game—a mark that puts him tied for sixth in the NBA this season despite him largely being a bench player. Stewart’s block percentage of 7.3% is third in the league behind only Jay Huff and Victor Wembanyama.
