Isaiah Stewart Ejected After Flagrant Foul in Heated Pistons-Pacers Game

The Pistons forward was ejected in the second quarter for a flagrant-2 foul, escalating tensions in an ongoing rivalry with the Pacers.

Isaiah Stewart was ejected during the Pistons' 133-119 loss to the Pacers after a flagrant-2 foul on Thomas Bryant in the second quarter.
The foul involved Stewart shoving Bryant to the floor during a box-out attempt, which referees deemed excessive and unnecessary.
Stewart appeared to make a gun gesture toward the Pacers bench as he exited the court, further fueling the game's intensity.
This marks Stewart's second ejection of the NBA season, making him one of five players with multiple ejections this year.
The rivalry between the Pistons and Pacers has grown increasingly contentious, with trash talk and physical play characterizing their recent matchups.
