The NBA has banned Warriors minority investor Mark Stevens from future games after he shoved Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry as he dove into the stands for a loose ball during Game 3 of the NBA Finals Wednesday night.
Toronto's Kyle Lowry yells at Golden State investor Mark Stevens after Stevens shoved him during the third quarter of the Raptors' Game 3 win against the Warriors on Wednesday. On Thursday, a Warriors statement said Stevens wouldn't be attending any other NBA Finals games.
“A team representative must be held to the highest possible standard and the conduct of Golden State Warriors investor Mark Stevens last night was beyond unacceptable and has no place in our league," said Mike Bass, NBA Executive Vice President of Communications. "As the review of this matter continues, Mr. Stevens will not be permitted to attend NBA games.
Stevens’ ban is effective immediately and carries through the 2019-20 NBA season, including the postseason. After the game, Lowry said:"As for that fan, there's no place for that. He had no reason to touch me. He had no reason to reach over two seats and then say some vulgar language to me. There's no place for people like that in our league and hopefully he never comes back to an NBA game."Adam Zagoria is a Basketball Insider and tennis writer who runs
