According to Shams Charania from The Athletic, Pistons forward Isaiah Stewart punched Phoenix's Drew Eubanks in the back tunnel of the Suns arena before the game.

The two players were going chest-to-chest with one another, Charania adds, and had to be separated by security following the punch. Local police were also involved to help separate the two men.

"The attack on Drew Eubanks was unprovoked, and acts of violence such as this are unacceptable," Suns spokesperson said.

Stewart got arrested for his outburst, Charania reports.

Detroit, meanwhile, communicated they were gathering additional information to respond to the NBA and local authorities.

It's not the first violent incident involving Stewart. Famously, Stewart barged toward LeBron James in 2021 after getting cut in the eye and had to be held back by his teammates. Last season, he got into a scuffle with Draymond Green.
