Stewart had eight points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, three blocks and two steals over 31 minutes during Sunday's 114-110 win over Cleveland.
With the Detroit frontcourt depleted by injuries to Jalen Duren (ankle) and Tobias Harris (hip), Stewart made his second straight start and had another impressive performance on defense. It was the second time this season the 24-year-old center has recorded multiple steals and multiple blocks in the same game, and in 15 appearances since the beginning of December he's averaged 9.7 points, 4.8 boards, 2.5 blocks and 1.0 assists in 24.0 minutes per game.

Pistons' Isaiah Stewart: Swats five shots in loss
Rotowire
Stewart chipped in six points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five blocks, four rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes during Thursday's 118-112 loss to the Heat.
With Tobias Harris (hip) sidelined, Stewart got the starting nod for the first time since Dec. 6. While the big man was unimpressive on the offensive end, he chipped in a game-high mark in blocks, matching his season high. He has posted at least one swat in nine straight games, averaging 2.3 blocks per game during that stretch. Stewart will likely continue to see an expanded role for as long as Harris is sidelined.

Pistons' Isaiah Stewart: Scores 15 points in 18 minutes
Rotowire
Stewart finished Tuesday's 128-106 win over the Lakers with 15 points (6-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one block in 18 minutes.
Stewart didn't miss a shot Tuesday night, hitting the 15-point milestone for just the sixth time this season. The 24-year-old started the second half in place of Tobias Harris, who went down with a hip injury in the first quarter. Should Harris miss time, Stewart would be a strong candidate to enter the starting lineup. In seven starts this season, he's averaging 13.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 2.0 blocks across 25.0 minutes per tilt.

Pistons' Isaiah Stewart: Another strong showing
Rotowire
Stewart closed with 14 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals over 31 minutes during Thursday's 116-114 overtime loss to Dallas.
With Tobias Harris posting a scoreless dud in 18 minutes of action, Stewart closed this game out for Detroit and saw extended run alongside Jalen Duren. That may be a trend that continues, and it's worth mentioning that Harris' expiring contract could potentially be moved ahead of the trade deadline.

Pistons' Isaiah Stewart: Drops 19 points in spot start
Rotowire
Stewart finished Saturday's 124-112 victory over Milwaukee with 19 points (6-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and one block across 26 minutes.
Stewart moved into the starting lineup, replacing Tobias Harris, who was ruled out due to an ankle injury. While the 19 points were nice, Stewart's lack of peripherals was a little disappointing. On the whole, it's been a decent season thus far for Stewart, who is averaging 10.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.0 blocks in 22.5 minutes per game. If and when the roster is healthy, he should be viewed as a blocks specialist in standard formats.

Pistons' Isaiah Stewart: Delivers 14 points off bench
Rotowire
Stewart (ankle) provided 14 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds and one assist across 23 minutes during Friday's 114-105 victory over the 76ers.
Though he didn't start in his return from a three-game absence even with Jalen Duren (ankle) sitting out, Stewart formed an effective platoon at center with Paul Reed, who started and finished with 10 points, eight rebounds, three blocks and two steals in 25 minutes. Reed will likely fade out of the rotation once Duren is back to full health, but head coach J.B. Bickerstaff's increased willingness to use Stewart and Duren alongside one another could enable Stewart to maintain a regular 20-plus-minute role moving forward. The Stewart/Duren frontcourt pairing has become a more viable arrangement this season while Stewart is converting at a career-best 38.7 percent clip from downtown.

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.
