According to a press release from the NBA, Stewart will be forced to miss three games without pay, starting with the upcoming match-up between the Pistons and the Indiana Pacers.
With reports about the Italian national team possibly acquiring one or even two naturalized players, the Italian Basketball Federation's (FIP) president, Gianni Petrucci, commented on the status of the entire process.
