The incident took place in the third quarter when James and Stewart tangled for a rebound off of a free throw. James’ elbow hit Stewart on the face, causing the Pistons man to go down on one knee. Stewart confronted James furiously, causing players on both teams to join the skirmish. James has been suspended for the next match while Stewart will face a two-match ban.
Draymond Green gives his two cents on the incident
Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors had a lot to say on the issue. Talking on Colin Cowherd’s YouTube channel, The Volume, Green talked about the fight.
Green feels the Denver Pistons players escalated the fight and they could’ve handled it better. He mentioned how LeBron James extended his hands to apologize, but the others created a fuss and things got ugly.
Draymond Green said, “You have the teammates coming running in, holding the guy back, pullin’ him away from LeBron and I think they may have made him feel like he should be upset because that’s when he went apesh*t.“
