Anthony Davis on the LeBron James and Isaiah Stewart altercation: “Everyone in the league knows LeBron isn’t a dirty guy. As soon as he did it, he looked back and told him, ‘My bad. I didn’t try to do it.’ I don’t know what he tried to do. Nobody on our team, 1-15, was having it” pic.twitter.com/KIL1jp04sm – 9:09 PM

Casey said Isaiah Stewart was upset for a reason. Said LeBron James isn’t a dirty player.
Casey doesn’t think he should face any trouble. “He was upset.” Stewart got stitches after. Casey talked to Isaiah after, told him: “This doesn’t define who you are.” – 9:09 PM

Isaiah Stewart lost his mind, but comparing what happened there to the Malice in the Palace tells me a lot of people need to go watch that doc. That was complete, uncontrolled insanity. Tonight wasn’t anywhere close to what happened during that Pistons-Pacers game. – 8:25 PM

What a surreal scene. Isaiah Stewart not only wanted to take on LeBron James and everyone on the Lakers but he calmly did the “it’s over, I’m done” walk off multiple times before sprinting back to get his revenge. The back door attempt at the end is crazy. pic.twitter.com/5W0wmhtOUZ – 8:09 PM

Gotta imagine a suspension is coming for Isaiah Stewart. You lose it like that and you’re gonna miss a game or two.
The real question is if LeBron James also gets a suspension or not. Flagrant 2’s pretty regularly do also come with a one-game suspension. We’ll see tomorrow! – 7:48 PM
