Fight suspensions

Detroit coach J.B. Bickerstaff defended his team after the NBA handed out four suspensions from a fight in the Pistons’ game against the Charlotte Hornets.

“The narrative that’s out there that we react to everything, every time, is a disappointing one, to be honest with you,” Bickerstaff said before the Pistons’ game in Toronto.

Detroit center Isaiah Stewart was suspended seven games by the league. Hornets forwards Miles Bridges and Moussa Diabaté were each suspended four games for fighting and escalating the altercation, while Pistons center Jalen Duren got two games for initiating the altercation and fighting, the league announced.

But the heaviest penalty went to Stewart, with the league saying it was based in part on his “repeated history of unsportsmanlike acts.”
