– Stewart suspended two games for aftermath. – 6:10 PM

Marc Berman @NYPost_Berman
LeBron James is in New York City with Lakers but won’t be allowed inside the Garden tomorrow night. My one suggestion to LeBron during his suspension is not to take a side trip to Rochester, N.Y. – as lovely as it is this time of year. @rochester #Isiahstewart – 6:09 PM

No Madison Square Garden for LeBron James on Tuesday night. James gets a one-game suspension for “recklessly hitting” Detroit’s Isaiah Stewart “in the face.” Stewart was suspended two games for “escalating” Sunday’s “on-court altercation.”

Isaiah Stewart did box as a kid, and when I asked if he hurt other kids, he said “I don’t want to talk about it.”

People getting on Isaiah Stewart for going a bit crazy but I feel like you should be allowed to do almost anything you want with no judgment when you’re bleeding from your eye area from an elbow at a basketball game – 7:51 PM

Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
Suspend LeBron for a game – 7:50 PM

Adam Spolane @AdamSpolane
Isaiah Stewart is 100% on the list of players who will bleep you up – 7:49 PM

Isaiah Stewart trying (and succeeding? we’ll see) to be an even bigger cult hero. – 7:48 PM

Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
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

Stefan Bondy @SBondyNYDN
So many people making sure nobody touches LeBron pic.twitter.com/FewhH1L7IN – 7:45 PM

I’m currently observing the discourse around LeBron and the events in the Lakes-Pistons game – 7:44 PM

This Isaiah Stewart eruption just kept gettin wilder and wilder 😳😳😳 pic.twitter.com/GO2F6vybMD – 7:40 PM

Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Wild scene on the floor here finally results in Ellington shooting 1 technical FT, and Jackson 2 on the other end (for the flagrant).
Pistons lead 79-67 with 9:18 left in the 3rd Q. THT is in for LeBron.
Crowd stayed calm and patient throughout, thankfully, here in Detroit. – 7:39 PM

Dave McMenamin @mcten
LeBron James was ejected as a result of a flagrant 2 foul on Isaiah Stewart, after an official’s review. pic.twitter.com/FQssFEw3jH – 7:38 PM

Frank Isola @TheFrankIsola
Isaiah Stewart, who suffered a cut to his face, is likely to get multiple game suspension. If LeBron gets a game that means he’s out vs the Knicks on Tuesday. – 7:38 PM

Vivek Jacob @vivekmjacob
LeBron James has been ejected for a flagrant 2, two tech ejection for Isaiah Stewart, tech on Russell Westbrook pic.twitter.com/ImP0tXA7wS – 7:37 PM

Bill Oram @billoram
LeBron and Stewart both ejected. Russell Westbrook also with a technical. They’re going to try to start this game back up now… – 7:37 PM

Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Stu Lantz on our @SpectrumSN broadcast: “It’s almost like LeBron was trying to free his arm, and inadvertently clipped (Stewart),” as the two tossled for position on a rebound. – 7:36 PM

Sean Highkin @highkin
I guess it never occurred to me that LeBron getting ejected was something that could happen. – 7:36 PM

Kyle Goon @kylegoon
Isaiah Stewart is also ejected. Looks like Russ got a tech. Could not hear Scott Foster in the arena because of the uproar from the fans as soon as LeBron was ejected, followed by the PA instructing the audience NOT to throw anything on the floor. – 7:36 PM

James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Also, I’m not sure if Isaiah Stewart got tossed. I imagine so, but I couldn’t hear it after the elation of LeBron getting tossed. – 7:36 PM

Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Has LeBron ever been ejected before? – 7:36 PM

Bill Oram @billoram
Very low on the list of things that matter amid an ugly situation that could have been much worse is the fact that LeBron exits with… 10 points. The streak lives. – 7:36 PM

Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Yea, understandable to see LeBron get ejected. He basically close punched Isaiah Stewart in the eye and that caused everything. – 7:35 PM

Chris Herring @Herring_NBA
Has Bron ever gotten a Flagrant 2 before? – 7:35 PM

Marc J. Spears @MarcJSpears
Wow LeBron ejected – 7:35 PM

James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
LeBron James gets ejected. This place erupts with boos toward LeBron. The Detroiters who are wearing Lakers jerseys have turned back into Detroiters.
You don’t mess with Beef Stew lol. – 7:35 PM

Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothers
A lot of NBA oncourt skirmishes are fake fights. Isaiah Stewart legitimately wanted to fight. AK – 7:35 PM

So both LeBron James and Isaiah Stewart end up ejected after all that. – 7:34 PM

Rob Perez @WorldWideWob
LEBRON HAS BEEN EJECTED. STEWART COULD BE IN THE TUNNEL!!! – 7:34 PM

Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Isaiah Stewart was not doing the “Hold me back!” game there. He wanted a real piece of whoever he could get. – 7:34 PM

Vincent Goodwill @VinceGoodwill
LeBron James ejected with a flagrant 2 foul on Isaiah Stewart. That started the altercation – 7:34 PM

Lebron thrown out of the game as well for a Flagrant 2… – 7:34 PM

Like I said, these two teams play a week from now. I can’t imagine Stewart and LeBron will both be available to play. – 7:34 PM

Crazy scene here in Detroit, where Pistons forward Isaiah Stewart was bleeding from his face an elbow from LeBron James hit him. Stewart did all he could to get after James. – 7:33 PM

Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
LeBron caught Isaiah’s face with his arm, looked like. Like, REALLY caught him. That looked awful, and explains the blood. Not sure what they will call here – 7:33 PM

ISAIAH STEWART WANTS LEBRON pic.twitter.com/gw6u84Pqr6 – 7:33 PM

Kyle Goon @kylegoon
Scott Foster just announced they’re reviewing the hostile action. The camera just replayed LeBron’s shot to Stewart’s face, and the crowd is now getting rowdy.
Might remind everyone we are in Detroit, where there’s a sensitivity to these things. – 7:32 PM

James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Just saw the replay on the jumbotron. LeBron basically closed-fist punched Isaiah Stewart during a free throw. That’s why Isaiah wanted to get him.
LeBron will get ejected. That was intentional. – 7:32 PM

Rod Beard @detnewsRodBeard
On the replay, it looks like LeBron James got Isaiah Stewart with an elbow or a punch.
That’s where the blood came from apparently. – 7:32 PM

Sopan Deb @SopanDeb
ahhh lebron elbowed isaiah stewart in the face on the free throw line – 7:31 PM

Matt Dery @DerySpeaks
LeBron cheap shot to the face of Beef Stew. Eject him! #pistons – 7:31 PM

Dave McMenamin @mcten
Wild scene here in Detroit where Isaiah Stewart, bleeding from his face from contact from LeBron James, repeatedly had to be separated from James and other Lakers players. pic.twitter.com/OAP49jWGru – 7:30 PM

Rod Beard @detnewsRodBeard
There’s likely going to be a significant delay to get things sorted out here. #Pistons Isaiah Stewart was profusely bleeding from his eye, and they’ll have to spray down the court for the blood. – 7:30 PM

Kyle Goon @kylegoon
LeBron appeared to give Stewart a good elbow on his face on the free throw. Calamity erupted. We still haven’t settled the scene. – 7:29 PM

Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Isaiah Stewart needs to relax. Understandably upset over the nasty cut on his eye, but this is a different kind of rage. – 7:29 PM

Bill Oram @billoram
The whole fracas starting with LeBron hitting Stewart in the face with a closed fist on a box out on the free throw. – 7:29 PM

Bill Oram @billoram
Absolute melee in Detroit. Isaiah Stewart is trying to take the entire Lakers team on. He is bleeding from the face. Because of the history, PA announcer repeatedly stressing that fans do not come onto the floor. – 7:29 PM

Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Isaiah Stewart is ready to fight, wow. He’s gushing blood from near his right eye – 7:29 PM

James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Isaiah Stewart faked like he was going to go to the bench and went sprinting at the Lakers. I’m not sure what happened but he’s got five or six guys holding him back.
These two teams play a week from today in LA. – 7:28 PM

Vivek Jacob @vivekmjacob
Omg Isaiah Stewart has absolutely lost it – 7:28 PM

Kyle Goon @kylegoon
Stewart is bleeding all over the place. He just tried to go at LeBron AGAIN. – 7:28 PM

Rod Beard @detnewsRodBeard
#Pistons Isaiah Stewart needs to get some control He’s in a different kind of rage. – 7:28 PM

James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Something happened where Isaiah Stewart ended up on ground. He is going after LeBron and Russ. He has to be held back by several players and coaches.
There’s blood coming from his eye. – 7:27 PM

Kyle Goon @kylegoon
Isaiah Stewart got up and went for LeBron. He’s made multiple efforts to go at him. Don’t know what got him that mad. – 7:27 PM

Rod Beard @detnewsRodBeard
#Pistons Isaiah Stewart has a huge cut above his right eye. – 7:27 PM

Rod Beard @detnewsRodBeard
#Pistons Isaiah Stewart is looking for the smoking section – 7:27 PM

Kyle Goon @kylegoon
It takes until the third quarter, but LeBron is now the first Lakers starter to hit a three tonight. – 7:21 PM

Kyle Goon @kylegoon
Interesting: a second shift for Dwight in this quarter. He’s got a team-high 10 points and LeBron is still on the bench with about 3 min to go. – 6:59 PM

Rod Beard @detnewsRodBeard
That’s an A-plus block by #Pistons Isaiah Stewart on Anthony Davis. – 6:55 PM

James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Isaiah Stewart with a dime there – 6:52 PM

Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
LeBron is playing defense like he’s trying to get Jae Crowder and Isaiah Thomas traded. – 6:47 PM

James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Hami hit a 3 that LeBron let him take. LeBron just shook his head after. – 6:46 PM

Kyle Goon @kylegoon
A lineup with LeBron, Melo, Monk, Dwight and THT is getting cooked by Frank Jackson and Hamidou Diallo. Welp. – 6:42 PM

Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
LeBron got to the rim with LAL up 6, but wasn’t able to finish, and Detroit got an open transition 3 on the other end.
Had a chance to be +8 in the Jordan-at-center lineup, instead it’s 20-17 with ‘Melo about to check in. – 6:23 PM

Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
With 3 Davis buckets right at the rim, 2 of them coming in transition, the Lakers hold an early 16-12 lead at Detroit.
Westbrook has a pair of mid-range pull-up J’s, and LeBron 2 FG’s to go with a DJ dunk.
LAL are 8 of 11, and DET 6 of 12, into the first time out. – 6:18 PM
