NBA star LeBron James has been suspended after striking a player from a different team in the face

The NBA announced on Monday afternoon that Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James will receive a one-game suspension, and lose out on a game check of $284.004 as a result, for hitting Detroit Pistons big man Isaiah Stewart, who received a two-game suspension and will miss out on $45,201 in game checks for his role in the incident, in the third quarter of Sunday’s game.

LeBron will have to sit-out on one game after smacking Detroit centre Isaiah Stewart in the face while boxing out for a rebound.

Stewart has also been suspended for charging back at James multiple times… and will be missing out on two games.

This is the first suspension for LeBron in his 19-year career.

The incident occurred while the two players were attempting to secure a position for a rebound where Stewart pushed LeBron and he swung his arm into Stewart bloodying his eye.

Stewart then proceeded by confronting LeBron where a fight nearly broke out… but was narrowly stopped by other players, coaches and security.

Both players will not receive any pay while suspended.
