Pistons’ Isaiah Stewart, Four Others Suspended For Timberwolves Brawl

The NBA just handed down several punishments in relation to Sunday’s Pistons vs. Timberwolves brawl … with Detroit big man Isaiah Stewart getting the the stiffest penalty.

NBA Executive VP and head of basketball ops Joe Dumars announced the consequences of the scuffle on Tuesday … saying Stewart is banned two games for “escalating an on-court altercation,” adding his history of “unsportsmanlike acts” played a role in the length.

A handful of one-game suspensions were also shelled out for Detroit’s Ron Holland and Marcus Sasser … as well as Minnesota’s Naz Reid and Donte DiVincenzo.

All bans are without pay.

As we previously reported, the whole incident was sparked after Reid confronted Holland over a defensive foul … which led to a shoving match that flooded into the stands.

The Association says Reid and DiVincenzo will serve their punishments when the Wolves travel to Denver to face the Nuggets on Tuesday … and Stewart’s time away will start with Motor City’s contest against the OKC Thunder on Wednesday, with Sasser and Holland also sitting out the matchup.
