The ban is for all arena events, and “is based on excessive and derogatory verbal abuse directed at a player during the game that violated the NBA Code of Conduct,” the team said in a new release. After the game, Westbrook said the man and his wife told him to "get down on knees like you're used to."
That comment bothered Westbrook who told reporters after the game, “If I had to do it again, I would say the same exact thing because I will truly stand up for myself, for my family, for my kids, for my wife, for my mom, for my dad every single time. I expect anybody else to do the same.”
