Isaiah Stewart's initial injury status for Pistons-Knicks Game 6

The Detroit Pistons fight for their season for the second game in a row. Whether you get an important reinforcement or not remains in the air, like the veteran center Isaiah Stewart remains in the injury report.

According to the official NBA injury report, Stewart is again questionable for game 6. The pistons could decide on Stewart's status when the team begins individual pregame workouts before the game.

Since the last game of the Pistons against the New York Knicks, Stewart has had to do with a knee problem. After Stewart was faced with 22 minutes before the Knicks on April 10, he lacked the last two games of the pistons of the regular season.

When the pistons traveled to the Madison Square Garden to open the NBA playoffs from 2025, Stewart came from the bank for almost 19 minutes. He had a quiet offensive trip, but played defensively outstanding in the first three quarters.

Stewart had five rebounds, two blocks, an assist and two points during his first playoff campaign. Throughout the game, Stewart fought his mobility and led the head coach JB Bickerstaff to endure the majority of the fourth quarter when the Knicks did a big comeback run.

After the defeat of game 1, Stewart experienced an MRI. The veteran center dealt with knee infections. At that time, the pistons listed him than daily. Since then he has been questionable before every game.

Unfortunately for Detroit, Stewart no longer played in the following four playoff games. The campaign on Thursday could mark the sixth absence for the veteran great man. If the pistons cannot defend their home courtyard again, they will end their season, with the Knicks competing against the Boston Celtics in round two.

If the pistons can achieve a second win in a row, they will force a game 7 in New York that would take place on Saturday.
