• Pistons' Isaiah Stewart: Strong performance in win

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Stewart finished with seven points (1-3 FG, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 105-95 win over Philadelphia. Stewart had his best outing of the season, playing 34 minutes as a result of Jalen Duren fouling out in just 11 minutes. Playing as the backup center, Stewart has been underwhelming in both fantasy and reality. While this was reminiscent of what he can do when afforded meaningful minutes, he simply won't play enough on a regular basis to be considered a viable asset.

• Pistons' Isaiah Stewart: Fails to score in 11 minutes

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Stewart posted three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 11 minutes during Friday's 113-101 loss to the Cavaliers. Stewart was the first big off the bench but didn't contribute much on offense, failing to attempt a single field goal. After years of flirting with fantasy value, it appears as though he is going to be a non-factor this season. He is playing as the backup behind Jalen Duren, and while he should see closer to 15 minutes on most nights, there is simply not enough meat on the bone for him to be considered a viable fantasy asset.

• Pistons' Isaiah Stewart: Expected to play center

  10/04/2024 • By RotoWire

  Stewart is expected to move from power forward to center this season, Evan Sidery of Forbes.com reports. Stewart is projected to come off the bench behind Jalen Duren while competing for playing time with Paul Reed. Stewart normally runs at the four-spot, but with Tobias Harris and Simone Fontecchio expected to play major roles with the club, Stewart will slide over to the center position. The 23-year-old played a large role in Detroit last season, during which he averaged 10.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 0.8 blocks across a career-high 30.9 minutes per game in 46 regular-season outings.

• Pistons' Isaiah Stewart: Healthy for training camp

  10/02/2024 • By RotoWire

  Stewart (hamstring) practiced Wednesday, Coty M. Davis of The Detroit News reports. Stewart enters training camp as Detroit's only big man with an NBA track record of shooting success, so a healthy start while acclimating to multiple new pieces in the surrounding lineup bodes well for the 23-year-old. Stewart appeared in only 46 regular-season games last season, the fewest of his four-year career.

• Pistons' Isaiah Stewart: Shut down for remainder of season

  03/20/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Pistons announced Wednesday that Stewart (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2023-24 season, Keith Langlois of the Pistons' official site reports. Stewart was diagnosed with a right hamstring strain after leaving Monday's loss to the Celtics early, and the Pistons, who are out of playoff contention, will shut down the big man for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign. Stewart should be able to make a full recovery and have a healthy summer. The 2020 first-round pick will be just 23 years old in May and signed a three-year, $45 million extension last July, so he figures to remain a key piece of the Pistons' rebuild. With the addition of Jalen Duren, Stewart has shifted to power forward the last two seasons, which has resulted in a drop in defensive production but an increase in three-point opportunities. He'll finish 2023-24 with averages of 10.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.8 blocks and 1.5 made threes in 30.9 minutes per game across 46 appearances (45 starts).
