The timing of Isaiah Stewart was certainly ironic.
The Pistons Center was interrupted one game without salary after accumulating the sixth foul point of the season earlier this week. NBA was announced on Friday。
He offers a suspension during the Detroit Little Caesar Arena on a Friday night with a pistons collision with Marvelix.
It puts a damper in the pistons promotion at night.
They were planning to praise Stewart by giving his portrait to 5,000 fans participating in Friday games with his caricature.
Detroit is still promoting promotion, The team told TMZ。
ABC's local Detroit affiliate sneaked into Bobblehead.
Stewart was punished during the Gain Bridge Field House on Wednesday during the defeat of Pistons's 133-119 Pacers.
In the second quarter, Stewart decked the Pacers Center Thomas Bryant, trying to box out for a rebound.
He later issued a terrible Foul 2 and was kicked out.
Stewart was fined by $ 50,000 after exhausting and unfavorable gestures. He seemed to be a gun gesture in the direction of Passer's bench when he was away from the court.
The NBA uses the amazing foul point system of the regular season. Fraglant 1 foul wins one player, and Fraglant 2 fouls get 2 points.
If the player exceeds a total of five points, he will automatically get a one -game suspension.
In addition, if the player reaches 7 points, he will automatically get a two -game suspension.
Stewart argued that Bryant was at the lead in the case and stealed a trash, but acknowledged that he had disappointed his team.
“A lot, a lot of words -I know that it's all they have, so I know that my opponent is trying to do it,” said Stewart. “I slipped, I fell to Trap, disappointed my teammates … I have to be better to keep those words affecting me. I have to be better. I know that I might have used me there, and they have nothing else for me.
Piston's coach JB Bickerstaff defended Stewart after the match.
“Basketball coats can do something you need to deal with, and you may be told that you are no longer about basketball,” Bickerstaff said. “When you cross that line like tonight, you should be able to stand up for yourself.”
