7 games for Stewart is low. I thought he'd get no less than 10 factoring in how soft Silver is. He should have gotten 15, at a minimum.

I don't miss David Stern often but when it comes to player misconduct, he was consistently heavy handed. Duran probably would have gotten 5, Diabete would have around 7, Bridges about 10, and Stewart 20 under Stern.

This won't dissuade Stewart, or anyone, in the future. Only 3 more games than anyone else when he literally ran on the court, which is an automatic 1 game on it's own, though is a bit mind boggling.

The Pistons' Isaiah Stewart received a LONGER suspension than Ben Wallace for Wallace's role in the Malice at the Palace in 2004

Ja Morant was surprised no teams made significant trade offers for him and it came as a ‘wake-up call’ for him, per

BREAKING: Utah Jazz star Jaren Jackson Jr. is likely to miss the remainder of the season to undergo surgery on his left knee to ensure his longterm health after a localized PVNS growth was discovered post trade, league sources tell me.

Well, that explains a lot about why Memphis was so eager to dump him all of the sudden.

Seems kind of dirty to me, Ainge probably knew about it. Smart, to tank while stashing JJJ, but dirty imo.

Yeah, I think it was intentional to get him fully healthy while continuing to tank. Shades of the Spurs with Robinson and then getting Duncan.

On Feb. 7 and 9, the Jazz removed Lauri Markkanen and Jaren Jackson Jr. before the beginning of the fourth quarter and did not return them to the game. The Pacers were fined for violating the player participation policy for holding out Pascal Siakam and two other starters Feb. 3.

Didn't realize they did that twice. Ainge has no shame.

Utah will be an interesting team next year though. Seeing a few teams go big is interesting.

Stewart was someone I wanted on the Suns. You need a guy who is willing to throw hands.
