Pistons' Isaiah Stewart: Double-doubles with four blocks
Rotowire
Stewart posted 26 points (9-18 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 14 rebounds, four assists, four blocks and one turnover in 34 minutes during Monday's 114-106 win over Memphis.
Stewart got the start Monday with Tobias Harris nursing an ankle injury, and he made the most of the opportunity, notching his first double-double since the season-opener. If Harris needs to miss Wednesday's game against the Jazz, Stewart would be someone worth grabbing in most leagues.

Pistons' Isaiah Stewart: Quiet in win
Rotowire
Stewart posted nine points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 18 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 135-116 victory over the Magic.
Stewart has not recorded double-digit points or rebounds ever since his 20/10 explosion in the opener, and he fouled out for the second time this season, inhibiting his ability to contribute. Stewart has been a steady source of blocks, averaging 2.0 swats per contest so far, but look for him to up his production in the offensive department Saturday against the Mavericks.

Pistons' Isaiah Stewart: Erupts in loss to Bulls
Rotowire
Stewart finished Wednesday's 115-111 loss to the Bulls with 20 points (8-14 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and four blocks over 25 minutes.
Jalen Duren had a tough outing in 20 minutes, and he had four fouls to his name. Stewart, who is expected to be Detroit's key frontcourt reserve with minutes at the four and five, stepped up as a result and finished second to Cade Cunningham (23) in points scored. Stewart averaged just 19.1 minutes per game during the 2024-25 regular season, but he looks hungry to fight for a larger role.

Pistons' Isaiah Stewart: Coming off bench

Pistons' Isaiah Stewart: Scores 12 points in spot start
Rotowire
Stewart closed with 12 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and one block in 18 minutes during Monday's 128-112 victory over the Grizzlies.
Stewart was handed the starting nod, replacing Jalen Duren, who was ruled out with a hamstring injury. Now saddled as the primary backup behind Duren, Stewart's opportunities could be somewhat limited this season. He averaged just 19.9 minutes per contest last season, a number that seems like a potential high point for the upcoming season, given the ascension of Duren. With that said, Stewart provides the Pistons with a consistent defensive presence off the bench, a key factor as the team seeks to secure as many wins as possible in what could be a weakened Eastern Conference.

Pistons' Isaiah Stewart: Questionable for Game 5
Rotowire
Stewart (knee) has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Knicks.
Stewart has missed five of the last six games while dealing with inflammation in his right knee. Although the veteran big man doesn't fill up the stat sheet on a nightly basis, he does bring a different kind of physicality to the game, which would benefit Detroit in this series against New York. If he's unable to play Tuesday, the Pistons will likely continue to lean on Paul Reed to help shoulder the load in the frontcourt behind Jalen Duren.

Stewart (knee) is out for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals Monday against the Knicks, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.
After leaving Game 1 of the first round of the playoffs Saturday, Stewart won't be able to suit up for the Pistons on Monday. He'll aim to return Thursday when the series heads to Detroit for Game 3. Paul Reed could enter Detroit's rotation as the backup center, and Ronald Holland may see a boost in frontcourt minutes off the bench in small-ball lineups. Jalen Duren could also see heavy playing time Monday.

Pistons' Isaiah Stewart: Leaves Game 1 early
Rotowire
Stewart checked out of Saturday's Game 1 matchup with the Knicks with 9:06 remaining in the fourth quarter and headed to the locker room due to an apparent knee injury, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Stewart was cleared to play in Game 1 after missing the final two games of the regular season due to right knee inflammation. Despite being cleared to play, Stewart looked to be in discomfort at various points during Saturday's contest, and he played just 48-second shift in the fourth quarter before asking out of the game after drawing a foul. The Pistons should provide an update on Stewart's status after the game, but if he's unable to return, starter Jalen Duren could take on the rest of the center minutes for the remainder of the contest.
