US EditionFight between Pistons and Hornets results in four players being ejected
- Monday night at Spectrum Center, a bench‑clearing brawl erupted between the Charlotte Hornets and Detroit Pistons, leading to the ejection of Moussa Diabate, Miles Bridges, Jalen Duren, and Isaiah Stewart.
- After Duren was fouled by Moussa Diabate with just over seven minutes left in the third quarter, Duren struck Diabate with an open right hand and Diabate lunged and threw a punch in retaliation.
- Video shows Bridges charging and landing a left‑handed punch on Duren while Stewart left the bench to confront him, benches cleared, and officers positioned between locker rooms, circulating footage on X.
- A formal NBA review is likely, with a one‑game suspension possible that could sideline Bridges and Diabate for Wednesday's final Hornets game before the All‑Star break, as any player leaving the bench is automatically ejected.
- With both teams' momentum affected, the incident draws scrutiny given players' prior incidents: Duren's second ejection this season and Stewart's Dec. 4 ejection heighten NBA disciplinary concerns.
