It's not every day that you see LeBron James excluded from a basketball game, if not ever.
It happened on the night of Sunday to Monday for the 2nd time in the King's career in a match where the Lakers, led at the time of the expulsion, finally knocked down the Pistons at home (116-121).
The facts, then.
Nine minutes from the end of the third quarter, while the Pistons extended their advantage to 12 points on a free throw, LeBron James suddenly turned around, slapping Isaiah Stewart in the nose, marking him.
The superstar immediately had to return to the locker room, with young Talen Horton-Tucker stepping in in his place.
Enraged stewart
But before that, Stewart, suffering from a cut above his right eye and enraged, repeatedly tried to get revenge.
This led to a melee of players from both teams, with several staff and security members also joining the fight.
Wow, this mess between LeBron and Isaiah Stewart 😳😳😳

The leader of the Lakers, Russel Westbrook, particularly virulent in the scuffle, is not immune to retroactive sanction.
This is also the case of Anthony Davis, his team's top scorer with 30 points, who defended his teammate, excluded for the second time in his career, after a meeting where the Lakers remade their delay in the last quarter against Pistons suddenly seized in attack to win (121-116).
