Shocking Isaiah Stewart footage proves one reason Pistons traded him

Recently surfaced footage showing former Detroit Pistons forward Isaiah Stewart punching former Phoenix Suns center Drew Eubanks has highlighted the reasons behind Detroit's decision to trade him this offseason. While the trade was considered controversial, Stewart's history of disciplinary issues and temper flare-ups on and off the court factored heavily into the front office's logic.

Over the past five seasons, Stewart recorded five total ejections that resulted in 15 cumulative missed games, excluding additional technical and flagrant foul disqualifications. The report also notes that the timing of Stewart's departure may have impacted center Jalen Duren's ongoing contract extension holdout with the Pistons.
