Another clip showed Paul saying “he put his hands on my mom.”

According to CNN, sources have not verified if the ejected fan seen in the video is the person who engaged in physical contact with Paul’s family.

The Dallas Mavericks said they know about the altercation that took place at the American Airlines Center and later released a statement, according to ESPN. 

“It was unacceptable behavior and will not be tolerated. The Mavericks, along with American Airlines Center, swiftly removed the fan from today’s game,” the statement read.

The NBA has previously addressed unruly behavior by fans, most recently after Kyrie Irving had a bottle thrown at him during a game in 2021.

Elizabeth Maringer, a senior vice president and assistant general counsel for the NBA, said the league strives to discourage fans from partaking in violent behavior at the games, according to NBA.com.
