But before the final buzzer sounded, LeBron committed a flagrant foul against Detroit\u2019s Isaiah Stewart as the Pistons shot free throws. The cheap shot from James left Stewart bloodied and understandably enraged.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"6.6923076923077\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">LeBron and Isaiah Stewart get into it \ud83d\ude33<\/p>\n<p>Wow. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/VJFntCo6cY\">pic.twitter.com\/VJFntCo6cY<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BleacherReport\/status\/1462580158292905992?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 22, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Flagrant 2 from James earned him only his second suspension in his nearly 20-year career.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"7.2611464968153\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">LeBron was ejected after the Lakers-Pistons game got physical.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s his second career ejection. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/upt5lWjKIQ\">pic.twitter.com\/upt5lWjKIQ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 ESPN (@espn) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/espn\/status\/1462581418685394949?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 22, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Another angle shows just how atrocious James\u2019 cheap shot truly was.

James will not play when the Lakers visit Madison Square Garden to play the New York Knicks. Stewart will miss the Pistons\u2019 home game against Miami on Tuesday and their game Wednesday at Milwaukee.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Component-root-0-2-61 Component-p-0-2-52\">James will forfeit about $284,000 in salary, while Stewart will lose about $45,000. It is the first suspension in the 19-year career of James, who has won four NBA titles with three teams.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Component-root-0-2-61 Component-p-0-2-52\">\u2026<\/p>\n<p class=\"Component-root-0-2-61 Component-p-0-2-52\">Stewart, the NBA said, was disciplined for \u2018escalating an on-court altercation by repeatedly and aggressively pursuing \u2026 James in an unsportsmanlike manner.\u2019 James merited the suspension \u2018for recklessly hitting Stewart in the face and initiating an on-court altercation,\u2019 the NBA said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Yes, Stewart was upset. However, he had an excellent reason to be after getting raked across the face for the crime of simply getting in a better position than LeBron James to collect the rebound. Still, it was LeBron who caused the injury and initiated the foul. Therefore, there\u2019s no way he should be suspended for <em>fewer<\/em> games than Stewart. If the association wants to give Stewart two games for excessive charging and \u201cescalating\u201d the situation, fine. But James should get two games as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One would think that the player who did the fouling and injuring would be the one who gets the stiffer suspension, but that apparently doesn\u2019t apply when one of the &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":92,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1046112","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1046112","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/92"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1046112"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1046112\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1046112"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1046112"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1046112"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
