LeBron James has officially been suspended.
In the Lakers’ 121-116 win over the Pistons on Sunday, the 17-time All-Star was ejected for striking Detroit center Isaiah Stewart in the face while fighting for a rebound early in the third quarter.
It led to the following sequence, in which a bloodied Stewart charged at the Lakers several times and had to be held back.
James was assessed a flagrant foul 2 on the play while Stewart received two technical fouls for “multiple unsportsmanlike acts during the altercation.”
It’s the second time James has been ejected in his career, the first coming in 2017.
The Pistons announced after the game that Stewart required five stitches.
