Isaiah Stewart, Jalen Duren, Miles Bridges, Moussa Diabate suspended
The Detroit Pistons and The Charlotte Hornets were involved in the fight a few days ago that included several players from each team. There was a good chance that some fines would be handed down, and the league recently issued suspensions players, according to the announcement.
“Detroit Pistons forward center.” Isaiah Stewart has been suspended seven games for leaving the bench, aggressively entering an altercation on the court and fighting, James Jones, executive vice president, head of basketball operations, announced today,” the statement said. “The length of Stewart’s suspension is based in part on his repeated history of unsportsmanlike conduct.
“In addition, the Charlotte Hornets are improving.” Miles Bridges and Moussa Diabate were suspended four games each for fighting and escalating the argument, and the Pistons center Jalen Duren two games were suspended for initiating an argument and a fight.
It all started with Duren and Diabate, as a foul led to the two warming up. Diabate headbutted Duren and Duren punched Diabate in the face. Tempers really started to flare then, and the players had to hold back. Then Miles Bridges came in and sneaked up on Duren, and Isaiah Stewart came off the Pistons bench and went after Bridges.
All four players were ejected from the game. After the game, Duren shared his thoughts about the fight.
“As the year goes on, teams like to try to get in our heads,” Duren said. “It’s not the first time people have tried to be, you know, extra aggressive with us, talk to us, whatever the case may be. I think as a group we did a good job with that energy and intensity, but at the end of the day, emotions ran high, we’re all competitive — we’re all men, so things happen.”
Bridges took to social media and dug it up in Stuart.
“The enforcer was grabbing his hair, he wasn’t trying to kill him,” Bridges said in an Instagram post.
