The Golden State Warriors’ investor who shoved Toronto guard Kyle Lowry during Game 3 of the NBA Finals won’t attend any more games in the series.
The Warriors said Thursday that they and investor Mark Stevens, who is listed in the team’s media guide as a member of its six-person executive board, apologized to Lowry and the Raptors.
The Warriors said their probe into the matter is ongoing. The NBA is also investigating, and reiterated that Stevens won’t be allowed at any NBA games while the events are reviewed. Lowry said he spoke with NBA officials about the incident before leaving the arena. He told The Associated Press that the man, who was not identified at the time, made a vulgar comment to him repeatedly during the brief exchange.
“There is no place for such interaction between fans — or anyone — and players at an NBA game,” the Warriors said. Westbrook also was touched by a young fan who was seated courtside at another game, and reacted calmly. “We have had lots of conversations directly with the players’ association, the players, because absolutely we want them to feel that they’re in a safe environment,” Silver said last week in Toronto when the NBA Finals were beginning. “And we don’t want them to be distracted during the game or think that they have to take matters into their own hand.”
