LeBron James came back from his one-game suspension following a bloody dust-up with Detroit Pistons big man Isaiah Stewart.
He addressed the situation while speaking to the press following the Lakers win over the Pacers on Wednesday night. LeBron detailed the situation between him and Stewart:
“There was a boxout on the free throw line. His elbow got kind of high, it got me — if you look, if you watch the film — it got me off balanced a little bit, and his elbow lifted my arm, and I basically tried to swim move, swim down on him, on his arm.And when I swung down on his arm, he got off balance and the left side of my hand grazed his face. And I knew right away. So, I knew right away I had caught some part of his head. So, I went over to apologize to him, and obviously, you guys saw what happened after that. But definitely accidental.”
