The 76ers fan who threw popcorn on Russell Westbrook was not only ejected from the game, but got stripped of his season tickets and banned rom the Wells Fargo Center. The New York Knicks who disgustingly spit at Trae Young during Game 2 has been indefinitely banned from Madison Square Garden.
Now, the Utah Jazz have added three more fans to the list.
Three so-called Utah Jazz fans that heckled the family of Grizzlies star Ja Morant during Game 2 seemingly crossed the line and not only got ejected from the game, but have been indefinitely banned from the arena.
“The Utah Jazz have zero tolerance for offensive or disruptive behavior. An incident occurred last night involving a verbal altercation during Game 2. Arena security staff intervened, and the investigation resulted in the removal and banning of three Jazz fans indefinitely,” the statement read. “We apologize to all who were impacted by this unfortunate incident and condemn unacceptable fan behavior. The Utah Jazz are committed to ensuring a safe and respectful environment.”
Ja Morant’s dad Tee told ESPN that one of the banned Jazz fans said to him: “I’ll put a nickel in your back and watch you dance, boy.”
Another made a sexually explicit remark to Ja’s mom Jamie. The third told her: “Shut the f— up, b—-.”

From a guy who sat next to Ja’s dad:
What Morant said about it:
The NBA itself released this statement.
“The return of more NBA fans to our arenas has brought great excitement and energy to the start of the playoffs, but it is critical that we all show respect for players, officials and our fellow fans. An enhanced fan code of conduct will be vigorously enforced in order to ensure a safe and respectful environment for all involved.”
