Detroit Pistons big man Isaiah Stewart is being summoned by the Phoenix Municipal Court on Feb. 23 on a misdemeanor assault charge. This happened after Stewart got into an altercation with Phoenix Suns' Drew Eubanks before their game on Wednesday in Footprint Arena.
Before the All-Star break, it was reported that the two reserve big men were in an altercation before the game started. It was supposed to be a well-received visit by the Pistons, as it was Monty Williams' first game back in Phoenix. However, it started with Stewart punching Eubanks in the face while in the tunnel.
The Pistons center was later arrested for his actions, and a citation was issued. He didn't stay long in police custody and was shortly released. His actions have started to haunt him as the court has released a schedule for his court date. Shams Charania of The Athletic reported this update earlier.

"Phoenix Municipal Court has set a Feb. 23 court date for the Pistons' Isaiah Stewart on a misdemeanor assault charge, according to police. Stewart was arrested and issued a citation before being released last week after an altercation with the Suns' Drew Eubanks," Charania tweeted.
