Before the Phoenix Suns and Dallas Mavericks faced off on Thursday night, Kevin Durant was involved in an incident with a Mavs fan.

Durant was walking out with his teammates to warm up for the game when he heard a woman yell “b*tch” at him from one of the front rows. Durant approached her and her partner and confronted them.

Kevin Durant and Luka Doncic have this in common

Security was about to throw them out, before Durant returned and told the authorities to keep them there.

This comes a month after Luka Doncic had a fan thrown out of the same American Airlines Center. That time, it was a Suns fans.

The fan had been heckling Doncic, particularly about his weight. Doncic had had enough and forced security to eject them.

Now it was Durant’s turn to face the wrath of the other side’s fanatics, although using curse words is crossing the line. It’s yet another instance of fans overstepping their boundaries at sporting events.
