Detroit Pistons forward Isaiah Stewart has been suspended one game without pay after receiving his sixth Flagrant Foul of the season, the NBA announced. The suspension comes after Stewart forcefully shoved Miami Heat center Thomas Bryant to the floor during a game, an action that resulted in an immediate ejection.
In addition to the suspension, Stewart has been fined $50,000 for making inappropriate and objectionable gestures toward officials and opposing players as he exited the court following the ejection. The incident marks the latest in a series of physical altercations for Stewart, who has developed a reputation for his aggressive play.
The suspension means Stewart will miss the Pistons’ upcoming game, further complicating the team’s already difficult season. Detroit, currently struggling in the Eastern Conference, will have to adjust their rotation in his absence.
