A video showing Isaiah Stewart punching Drew Eubanks before a February 14, 2024, NBA game between Detroit and Phoenix surfaced recently. The incident occurred in the Phoenix Suns' arena hours prior to the match where Phoenix won. Stewart was arrested for assault but released after receiving a citation, while Eubanks played in the game. The Suns called the attack unprovoked, but Pistons coach Monty Williams disagreed with this characterization. Stewart received a three-game suspension from the NBA and later joined the Memphis Grizzlies in a multi-team trade. Eubanks, now signed to the New York Knicks on a non-guaranteed contract, has played for six teams over his eight-year career.

Story summary
On February 14, 2024, video footage emerged showing Isaiah Stewart punching Drew Eubanks before a game between the Detroit Pistons and the Phoenix Suns in Phoenix. The incident occurred in an arena hallway where Eubanks initially provoked Stewart by pushing his shoulder into him. After being separated, both players continued to confront each other verbally until Stewart physically attacked Eubanks.
Stewart was arrested at the venue for assault but released after receiving a citation before the game started. Despite this altercation, Eubanks played in and finished the match, which Phoenix won. The Suns issued a statement condemning the attack on Eubanks as "unprovoked" and vowed to support him while cooperating with local law enforcement and the NBA.
Monty Williams, then-coach of the Pistons (and former coach of the Suns), disagreed with Phoenix's stance, suggesting that it was crucial to have all information before making definitive statements.
