Limited in return
Stewart chipped in eight points (3-3 FG, 2-2 FT) and one rebound over 11 minutes during Wednesday's 137-111 win over the Bucks.
Analyse
Stewart logged 11 minutes in his return, back in action after missing 13 straight games due to a calf injury. Although he has proven to be a menace on the defensive end, Stewart's role remains limited, serving as the primary backup behind Jalen Duren. As for next season, he will likely be nothing more than a blocks specialist, providing managers with limited value off the waiver wire.

Good to go Wednesday
Stewart (calf) is available for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
Analyse
Stewart will shed his questionable tag and return from a 13-game absence due to a left calf strain. While he may operate under a minutes restriction in his first game back, the big man's return will leave fewer minutes available for Paul Reed.

Questionable for Wednesday
Stewart (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
Analyse
A left calf strain has held Stewart out for 13 consecutive contests, but the questionable designation gives him a real chance to return Wednesday. Stewart would likely face a minutes cap if he's upgraded to available, but he would still figure to push Paul Reed for playing time as the backup center behind Jalen Duren.

Officially out Monday
Stewart (calf) is out for Monday's game against the Magic.
Analyse
Stewart was temporarily upgraded from out to doubtful earlier in the day Monday, but the team has now officially listed him as out, which will mark his 13th straight absence while on the mend from a left calf strain. The 24-year-old's next chance to take the court will come Wednesday against the Bucks.
6. April 2026
Now doubtful Monday
Stewart (calf) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game versus Orlando.
Analyse
The Pistons are upgrading Stewart from out to doubtful Monday, signaling that he's inching closer to returning from a left calf strain. Paul Reed should remain worth streaming in deep fantasy leagues for at least one more contest.
5. April 2026
Out again versus Orlando
Stewart (calf) is listed as out ahead of Monday's game in Orlando.
Analyse
Stewart continues to battle a strained left calf, an injury that has caused him to miss Detroit's last 12 contests. Although the 24-year-old resumed on-court basketball activities over a week ago, he won't be back on the floor versus the Magic. With Stewart unavailable, Paul Reed should continue to see the bulk of the minutes from off the bench behind Jalen Duren.
3. April 2026
Out again Saturday
Stewart (calf) will remain on the inactive list for Saturday's game in Philadelphia.
Analyse
Stewart will miss another game, and while he's slowly making progress, it remains unclear when he might return. Paul Reed will continue to operate as Jalen Duren's primary backup with Stewart sidelined.
