Notably, Stewart and Eubanks have never been teammates, and there has been no prior indication of animosity between the two.
Eubanks is still expected to play as he was not included on the Suns injury report. The 27-year-old spoke on the incident pregame, noting, “Words were said, I got sucker punched, and security intervened.”
