Phoenix — Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart was arrested for assault Wednesday for punching Phoenix Suns center Drew Eubanks at the arena hours before the teams played, police said.
Phoenix police said Stewart was issued a citation and released. Stewart was already listed as out for the game because of a sprained left ankle. Eubanks had six points and eight rebounds in 18 minutes in the Suns' 116-100 victory.
Eubanks said before the game that the altercation happened as he was coming into the arena. CBS Phoenix affiliate KPHO-TV cites police as saying it occurred in the Footprint Center's parking lot.
