Chris Paul: Family| Altercation| What happened with| Mother
Family:
The fan in question was removed by security during the game, as seen in videos that went viral on the social media.
On Monday, the Mavericks said in a statement that “two unruly fans” had been banned from American Airlines Center until 2023 after attempting to give “unwanted hugs” to members of Paul’s family on the arena concourse.
Altercation:
Paul became furious on the sideline when he found out a fan had allegedly harassed and got physical with his family during the game, which took place on Mother’s Day.
In a previous statement, the Mavericks said the fan behavior “was unacceptable behavior and will not be tolerated.”
What happened with:
Unfortunately for the Suns, this isn’t the first instance of fans taking things too far during postseason play. After Monday’s practice, forward Cam Johnson said his girlfriend was involved in an altercation during Game 3 of the 2021 NBA Finals against the Bucks in Milwaukee.
“A similar situation happened with my girlfriend,” Johnson told reporters. “She got hit in the back of the head and then beer was spilled on her. It was kind of a big scene and it really frustrated me.”
“There is no room for them to be harassed, attacked and treated that way. It’s really ridiculous.”
Mother:
Chris Paul’s mom, Robin, was “a little upset” while recalling her encounter with a fan during the Suns’ game at Dallas on Sunday to “Inside the NBA” co-host and family friend Kenny Smith. The fan allegedly harassed and got physical with her during the the Mavericks’ 111-101 win.
Tuesday night on TNT, Smith relayed what Robin Paul told him. Paul became furious on the sideline when he found out a fan had allegedly harassed and got physical with his family during the game, which took place on Mother’s Day.
