Pistons, Hornets slapped with suspensions stemming from brawl

Detroit Pistons centers Isaiah Stewart and Jalen Duren have been suspended for their roles in a brawl during a game against the Charlotte Hornets on Monday, Feb. 9.

Stewart’s suspension is for seven games, while Duren gets two games, the league announced Wednesday.

Hornets suspensions include Moussa Diabate (four games) and Miles Bridges (four games).

This marks the fifth time Stewart has been suspended during his six-year career.

The brawl began after Diabate was fouled by Duren with more than seven minutes remaining in the third quarter. The players exchanged words and then Duren shoved Diabate in the face. Bridges stepped in and shoved Duren before Diabate threw a punch at Duren and had to be held back by coaches and teammates, according to the Detroit Free Press, part of the USA TODAY Network.
