Isaiah Stewart will make his return from suspension tonight in the Pistons’ road game against the Cavaliers, a matchup that could get chippy and provide an early test for Stewart.
Not that Beef Stew needed extra motivation, but the Cavaliers were talking greasy after their recent overtime loss to the Pistons, reportedly saying Detroit wasn’t “in their class” and they didn’t sweat them in the playoffs.
We know these Pistons take that kind of stuff personally, so I expect a spirited effort tonight against the Cavaliers, with an invigorated Isaiah Stewart leading the bench.
But Stewart will be under a microscope in his first game back and has little margin for error.
