[Saba Sports News] Isaiah Stewart of the Detroit Pistons was taken into custody on Wednesday evening for supposedly assaulting Drew Eubanks.
The incident occurred before the Phoenix Suns secured a 116-100 victory against the Pistons at the Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona, where Eubanks accused Stewart of unexpectedly punching him in the face. Despite being sidelined for the game due to an ankle injury, Stewart was detained and charged by the Phoenix police for the alleged assault but was later released.
Stewart, who is 22 years old, previously made headlines in 2021 for a heated altercation with LeBron James and the Lakers, where he was seen losing control during the conflict. Selected in the first round of the 2020 NBA Draft, Stewart has been contributing an average of 11.0 points and 6.8 rebounds per game this season.
