A massive scrum, which has now gone viral, broke out between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Detroit Pistons last night. LeBron James was ejected for striking Isaiah Stewart in the face. The Los Angeles Lakers went on to a 121-116 win over the Pistons.
The hit led to Stewart, who was bleeding from his face, to trying to attack LA players. He had to be controlled by Detroit personnel as he attempted to confront James. There was 9:18 remaining in the third quarter at the time of the incident.
James was assessed a flagrant foul and ejected. Stewart was assessed two technical fouls and ejected. Lakers guard Russell Westbrook was also called for a technical foul.

Stewart attempted to bull-rush the Lakers’ scrum at least three times before retiring through the tunnel behind the Pistons’ bench to the locker room area.
The ejection was only the second of LeBron James career. The first came in November of 2017, when James and the Cleveland Cavaliers hosted the Miami Heat. He has been in the NBA for 19 years now.
