The NBA has decided on the punishment for players involved in the brawl during Sunday's game between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Detroit Pistons.
Detroit Center's Isaiah Stewart received a two-game suspension for his role in the brawl, with the Pistons and four other players from the Timberwolves pulling out a one-game suspension, the league announced Tuesday.
According to the NBA, Stewart's multi-game suspension has arisen in part in “his recurring history of sportsman-like behavior.”

Pistons forward Ron Holland II was banned for one game, but teammate Marcus Sasser is also forced to sit outside the game. Meanwhile, Timberwolves Center Naz Reid and Guard Donte Divincenzo both pulled out a one-game suspension.
In addition to Stewart, all these players were kicked out of Sunday's game. Authorities also threw Pistons head coach JB Bickerstaff and T'Wolves assistant Pablo Prisioni from the contest.

“Obviously things have gone too far,” Vickerstaff said after the match. “But what you see is the people who are looking for each other, the people who are trying to protect each other, the people who have each other’s backs.

The incident began when the Netherlands fouled the lead with 8:36 left in the second quarter of the Timberwolves matchup with the Pistons in Minneapolis. Reed stood up to Holland, who pushed Divinsenzo and pushed Holland. And they fell into the audience sitting along the baseline.

Stewart and Sasser then entered an argument, “which led to a continuous escalation of the situation,” the league said.
The Timberwolves won Game 123-104.
