Stewart was the only player to receive more than a one-game suspension due to “his repeated history of unsportsmanlike acts,” according to a statement released by the league.

No punishment of further action was announced regarding Pistons head coach J.B. Bickerstaff and T-Wolves assistant coach Pablo Prigioni, who were also ejected from the game after their own heated conflict.
Stewart has a history of hostile behavior on the court, but if they continue to have success, the Pistons might just embrace it.
