Isaiah Stewart received a Flagrant Foul 2 for this exchange in a Jan. 29 loss to the Pacers.
NEW YORK — Detroit Pistons forward-center Isaiah Stewart has been suspended one game without pay for accruing his sixth Flagrant Foul point of the 2024-25 regular season, it was announced today by Joe Dumars, Executive Vice President, Head of Basketball Operations.
Stewart, who entered Wednesday’s game with four Flagrant Foul points, received a Flagrant Foul 2 and was ejected with 8:45 remaining in the second quarter of the Pistons’ 133-119 loss to the Indiana Pacers at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Jan. 29. Stewart will serve his suspension tonight when the Pistons host the Dallas Mavericks at Little Caesars Arena.
The NBA’s regular season Flagrant Foul point system appears below:
If the player’s regular season total exceeds 5 points, he will receive an automatic suspension following the game in which his point total exceeds 5 points and for each additional Flagrant Foul committed during that regular season, as follows:
- Player at 4 points commits a Flagrant Foul 2: Automatic 1-game suspension
- Player at 5 or 6 points commits a Flagrant Foul 1: Automatic one-game suspension
- Player at 5 or 6 points commits a Flagrant Foul 2: Automatic two-game suspension
- Player at 7 points or more commits a Flagrant Foul: Automatic two-game suspension
In addition, Stewart has been fined $50,000 for making inappropriate and objectionable gestures following his ejection.

The NBA has suspended Detroit Pistons’ Isaiah Stewart for one game without pay following his altercation with LeBron James during Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Stewart, who was ejected from the game after repeatedly trying to confront James, will serve his suspension during the Pistons’ upcoming game against the Miami Heat.
The league also fined James $15,000 for his role in the incident, which left Stewart with a facial laceration that required eight stitches.
Both players have since apologized for their actions, with Stewart expressing regret for his outburst and James acknowledging that he “may have overreacted” in the heat of the moment.
The NBA’s decision to suspend Stewart underscores the league’s commitment to maintaining the integrity and sportsmanship of the game, and serves as a reminder to players to conduct themselves with professionalism and respect on and off the court.
