Phoenix Suns center Drew Eubanks suffered a bloody mouth as the result of the altercation he had with Detroit Pistons big man Isaiah Stewart on Feb. 14.
Per the Phoenix Police Department incident report obtained by TMZ Sports, Eubanks said in his official complaint his gums were bloody and teeth were loose after the punch from Stewart.
"My teeth definitely are like looser and they hurt," the statement says.
The incident occurred a few hours before tipoff of a Pistons-Suns game at Footprint Center in Phoenix. Stewart was arrested after officers arrived on the scene, spoke with both players and interviewed multiple witnesses.
According to the police report, Eubanks said Stewart told him "we can do this s--t" right now before hitting him with a "sucker punch."
Per Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium, Eubanks and Stewart exchanged words after getting in each other's faces prior to the punch being thrown.
Eubanks initially planned to press charges, but he changed his mind a few days later. Court documents obtained by TMZ Sports noted an assault charge against Stewart was dismissed when the Suns big man declined to press charges.
The NBA suspended Stewart three games without pay for initiating a physical confrontation. He issued an apology to his teammates, coaches and organization on Feb. 29 after his suspension ended.
Eubanks didn't miss any time due to the altercation. He played 18 minutes against the Pistons on Feb. 14 and has appeared in each of the Suns' six games after the All-Star break.
