The NBA has handed down discipline stemming from the fight between the Charlotte Hornets and Detroit Pistons on Monday.<\/p>\n
Pistons center Isaiah Stewart got the longest suspension, as he will have to sit for seven games. Miles Bridges and Moussa Diabate each received four-game suspensions for fighting and escalating the situation, while Jalen Duren got a two-game suspension for initiating the altercation.<\/p>\n
The league said in its announcement<\/a> that Stewart got the longest suspension partly because of \u201chis repeated history of unsportsmanlike acts.\u201d His reputation is well-known, as he infamously went after LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers<\/a> in a 2021 game. The fact that he left the bench to join the fray likely did not help his cause either.<\/p>\n The severity of the suspensions is not a huge surprise in light of how bad the fight got. Multiple punches were thrown during the brawl<\/a>, with Bridges and Diabate both trying to get at Duren. Stewart came in to protect his teammate<\/a> by going after Bridges.<\/p>\n All four players will begin serving their suspensions Thursday night, when both teams are scheduled to play again for the first time since the incident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The NBA has handed down discipline stemming from the fight between the Charlotte Hornets and Detroit Pistons on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":603432,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3777],"tags":[7,684,473,3878,188,685,6,79549],"class_list":{"0":"post-603431","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-charlotte-hornets","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-charlotte","10":"tag-charlotte-hornets","11":"tag-charlottehornets","12":"tag-detroit-pistons","13":"tag-hornets","14":"tag-nba","15":"tag-sports-fights"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116071103430316150","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/603431","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=603431"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/603431\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/603432"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=603431"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=603431"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=603431"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
