Thirty-six-year-old James hit Stewart, who was 16 years younger, at the beginning of the third quarter in a face-to-face battle, and although he first tried to apologize for the foul, he did not calm the situation. Stewart, who was bleeding from his eyebrows, tried repeatedly to throw himself at the famous rival, and his teammates had their hands full preventing him from being insulted. The referees excluded both players.
James missed Tuesday’s game with the New York Knicks for the first sentence in his 19-year NBA career and loses about $ 284,000 in salary. Absences in Miami and Milwaukee duels will cost Stewart about $ 45,000. The Lakers and Pistons will play another match again on Sunday in Los Angeles.
