Detroit Pistons vs New York Knicks final injury report (April 21, 2025): Is Isaiah Stewart playing tonight?

The Detroit Pistons will look to bounce back in Game 2 against the New York Knicks after a tough fourth-quarter collapse in the series opener. With Isaiah Stewart’s status in question, the Pistons may need to adjust their lineup to avoid falling into an 0-2 hole.

The Pistons held an eight-point lead entering the final quarter but unraveled as the Knicks went on a 21-0 run. Cam Payne, who tormented New York in last year’s playoffs with the Sixers, delivered 14 points off the bench, helping secure a 123-112 victory.

Despite a 3-1 regular-season record against the Knicks, Detroit’s inexperience showed in crucial moments. Game 2 presents a must-win scenario to avoid returning home with a daunting deficit.

Will Isaiah Stewart play tonight? Detroit Pistons injury report for tonight’s game against the New York Knicks (April 21, 2025)

Pistons big man Isaiah Stewart had to get imaging on his leg after Game 1, per SNY sources. Stewart exited game in 4th quarter - at very start of NYK’s big run. He was laboring for most of G1. Given Stewart’s importance, this injury will clearly impact the rest of NYK-DET series.

Isaiah Stewart is listed as questionable due to knee inflammation. He missed the final two regular-season games and underwent imaging after Game 1, per SNY’s Ian Begley. His absence would hurt Detroit’s energy and depth off the bench.
