Isaiah Stewart Returns Friday from Ankle Sprain, Expected Significant Role

Isaiah Stewart is available for Friday's game against Philadelphia, marking his return from a three-game absence due to an ankle sprain. The Detroit Pistons forward is expected to step into a significant role in the frontcourt, especially with Jalen Duren (ankle) sidelined. Stewart has averaged 13.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks in 24.8 minutes across three games as a starter this season.
