Detroit Pistons and Milwaukee Bucks players had a heated incident in the third quarter of their matchup on Wednesday night.
Pistons center Isaiah Stewart came face to face with Milwaukee Bucks veteran Bobby Portis as Detroit led by seven points. As the two gaped at each other, Stewart flashed his fist at Portis, possibly indicating he was going to give the 11-year-old pro a knuckle sandwich.

Portis apparently refused and players from both teams approached to break up the action before it escalated further.
Stewart received his second technical foul of the game and was quickly ejected. Portis also received a technical foul.

Stewart was still furious when he returned to the bench. He told his coach, JB Bickerstaff, that once the game was over “he was going to punch (Portis) in the ass.” The promise apparently was not kept.
Milwaukee came back to win the game, 113-109. Kevin Porter Jr. led the way with 26 points. Portis scored 13 points off the bench.
Giannis Antetokounmpo left the game with a calf injury amid rumors that he could be traded. He only played three minutes.
