The assault charge against Isaiah Stewart, who was accused of punching Drew Eubanks in the face, has been dismissed. This comes after prosecutors revealed that the Phoenix Suns player no longer wished to pursue the case against the Detroit Pistons center. The motion to dismiss the case was filed in Arizona, with court documents stating that Eubanks “no longer desires prosecution in this matter.” A judge promptly approved the motion, effectively clearing Stewart of the charges.

Background

The incident in question occurred in the parking tunnel of the Footprint Center, where witnesses alleged that Stewart punched Eubanks following an argument. The altercation took place just before the two players were set to compete against each other in a game.

Legal Proceedings

Stewart was scheduled for a hearing in the case, which has now been canceled in light of the dismissal. Despite the legal victory, the NBA has imposed a three-game suspension without pay on Stewart for his involvement in the altercation. The suspension is set to commence on Thursday night, coinciding with Detroit’s game against Indiana at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
