The Detroit Pistons will likely be without starting big man Isaiah Stewart for the remainder of the season after the third-year player was diagnosed with a left shoulder impingement. The team announced the diagnosis after an MRI and evaluation and said Stewart would be re-evaluated in 3-4 weeks.
The shoulder injury dates back to an early January loss to the Philadelphia 76ers after a Paul Reed foul. Stewart missed the next three games, played in two more games while going 4-of-16 from the field and then missed another game. He played 10 consecutive contests but was offensively limited and has been sidelined for the team’s past five games, all losses.
