Isaiah Stewart's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Detroit Pistons forward Isaiah Stewart (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. This doesn't come as much of a shock after Stewart hyperextended his left knee during Monday's game. As a result, Stewart will miss his second straight game, so his next chance to play will be against the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday. Paul Reed figures to serve as the backup center while Stewart is out. Reed finished with 12 points and nine rebounds across 17 minutes on Thursday. That was a solid outing from Reed, but he 's unlikely to match that same performance on Saturday.

Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart (knee) exited Monday night's game against the Miami Heat early and will not return. The team is stating that he has a hyperextended left knee. Stewart scored four points and grabbed three boards before exiting in with 9:10 left in the second quarter. The 23-year-old was contesting a layup by Terry Rozier and was in visible pain after landing. He has averaged 6.1 PPG and 6.1 RPG this season. Should he be forced to miss an extended period of time, expect Jalen Duren to get more minutes as a starter with Detroit's other option at center being Paul Reed, who they recently resigned on Monday after waiving him just two days prior.

Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart (ankle) is cleared to play in Tuesday's matchup against Miami. He was listed as probable, so there wasn't much doubt concerning his availability. Stewart has been getting some extra minutes while Jalen Duren (ankle) was on the shelf the last two games. However, with Duren returning versus the Heat, Stewart's fantasy outlook isn't as favorable.

Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart (ankle) is probable for Tuesday's game versus the Miami Heat. With Jalen Duren (ankle) sidelined for the last few games, Stewart has been handling business underneath the basket. However, he's struggled this season, averaging 5.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks. But if Duren remains out, Stewart's ceiling should remain higher than usual. Yet, if Stewart and Duren don't suit up, Paul Reed would presumably slide into the starting lineup and gain streaming value, although will likely be just for a game or two.

Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart will be used as a center in the upcoming campaign. Stewart started his career as a center but played the last two seasons mostly as a power forward. Now, he's set to feature as a center again, a position Stewart prefers. The six-foot-nine big man is expected to work as a backup behind Jalen Duren. It remains to be seen how Pistons head coach J. B. Bickerstaff splits the minutes between the two, but it's hard to imagine Stewart getting close to the 30.9 minutes he averaged last season, meaning his fantasy stock will take a hit.
