Isaiah Stewart found himself hitting the showers earlier than expected as part of a wild scene on Wednesday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Pistons forward was ejected during his team\u2019s 133-119 loss to the Pacers after he was assessed a flagrant-2 for shoving Indiana big man Thomas Bryant in the second quarter at Gainsbridge Fieldhouse.<\/p>\n
To add to the spectacle, Stewart appeared to make a gun gesture in the direction of the Pacers bench and then gestured toward the crowd as he was walking off the court.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bryant and Stewart appeared to have been chirping at one another earlier in the game. <\/p>\n
Then in the second quarter, Stewart shoved Bryant to the floor while everyone around them was focused on going up for a rebound.<\/p>\n
Referees immediately called the foul and sent Stewart to his bench before an irate Bryant could get up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Pacers players were livid and had to be held back by teammates and coaches.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The fans waved goodbye to Stewart as the ref announced the flagrant-2 call and Bryant seemed to gesture as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n
While the official was reviewing the play to decide whether to assess a flagrant-2, Stewart appeared to make the gun gesture in the direction of the Indiana bench before pointing that way.<\/p>\n
Video of Stewart leaving the court also appears to show him making hand gestures to the crowd as he headed to the locker room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stewart\u2019s early night saw him play just less than eight minutes and put up a point and assist.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cA lot of talk, a lot of words \u2014 I know that\u2019s what opponents are going to do because that\u2019s all they have, is words,\u201d Stewart told reporters postgame. \u201cI slipped up, fell for the trap, and I let my teammates down. \u2026 I have to be better at not letting those words allow me to affect the team. I know my squad could have used me out there tonight, and going forward, all they got for me is words. They don\u2019t have anything else.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pistons coach J.B. Bickerstaff told reporters he believed Stewart has the right to stand up for himself with the level of comments coming from the Pacers side.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are things that happen on the basketball court that you have to deal with, and then there are certain things that are said to you that are no longer about basketball,\u201d Bickerstaff said. \u201cWhen it crosses that line like it did tonight, you should be able to stand up for yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n
The dustup is sure to add to the growing rivalry between the two teams that began last year and has continued into this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In their previous matchup earlier this month, the two sides played a close game where the Pistons couldn\u2019t complete a comeback despite pulling within seven.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That physical and chippy matchup also featured plenty of trash talk between the two sides, according to the Detroit Free Press.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt wasn\u2019t no malice or anything crazy like that,\u201d Pacers center Myles Turner told reporters previously, according to the Indy Star. \u201cIt was just competitive talk. It\u2019s a team that\u2019s on the rise, a team that we\u2019re gonna see in the future. It was just good-spirited stuff, man. I think that\u2019s the beauty of this game. You go out there and compete and you talk a little bit and you go out and back it up too.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
