Lip readers think Isaiah Stewart made fun of Myles Turner for playing with Legos
During a game between the Detroit Pistons and Indiana Pacers, big men Isaiah Stewart and Myles Turner became briefly entangled.
We have seen Stewart get in his fair share of dust ups during his professional career thus far. While bloodied, he memorably charged at LeBron James (!!) in 2021. He was also reportedly arrested after punching former Phoenix Suns big man Drew Eubanks.
The latest beef involving the big man known for the nickname Beef Stew is not nearly dramatic as either incident described above, though. Instead, for this particular issue, he was caught making fun of Turner simply for his love of Legos.
Turner is indeed a Legos enthusiast, which is well-documented.
He has made it clear, however, that he builds Legos. He does not play with them. So perhaps the use the word "play" may have rubbed Turner the wrong way.

Either way, this clearly stuck with Turner, who made sure to keep his eyes on Stewart after the game concluded.
As far as petty insults go, however, Stewart earned some points with this one.
