Last week, The Athletic reported that the altercation happened when Stewart and his opponent were face to face, leading to Stewart hitting Eubanks. Police intervention was reportedly necessary.

This is not Stewart's first episode of losing his temper. In 2021, he faced a two-game suspension due to a skirmish with LeBron James during a game. After being hit in the face during a scuffle for a rebound on a free throw, Stewart attempted to rush at LeBron while players and security personnel tried to hold him back.

Moreover, in 2023, Stewart was ejected from a game for knocking Patrick Beverley to the ground.
