NBA Melee: Seven Game Suspensions for Pistons Stewart, Hornets Bridges, and Diabate; Duren to Play All-Star Game

The NBA handed out severe penalties following the recent brawl between the Detroit Pistons and Charlotte Hornets. Isaiah Stewart of the Pistons received the longest suspension of seven games, while Miles Bridges and Moussa Diabate from the Hornets were given four and two games respectively. Jalen Duren, also from the Pistons, was suspended for two games. The incident started with a hard foul by Diabate on Duren, leading to a heated exchange and a full-blown brawl. The Pistons, currently leading the Eastern Conference, will miss Durens significant contributions, but he will still participate in the All-Star Game. The Hornets, fighting to stay in the play-in spot, will struggle without Bridges and Diabates production. All four players, along with Hornets coach Charles Lee, were also fined heavily, with Stewart receiving the largest penalty of over $724,000. The NBA aims to send a strong message about maintaining sportsmanship. Checkout https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
