Shams Charania tells us that this incident "stemmed from their last game against each other," and Wednesday night in the tunnel, the two came chest to chest and exchanged words, when Stewart dropped his bags and punched Eubanks in the mouth. "Eubanks barely flinched, I'm told. He stood there stone cold,” reports Charania.

Obviously, we haven't heard the last of this, and for Stewart, he already has a history of violent actions, so the NBA might be dealing with him harshly.
