Kyle Lowry got pushed by an NBA fan a second time: ‘It’s kind of getting crazy’

Back in the NBA Finals, Kyle Lowry got pushed by a Golden State Warriors fan who turned out to be a minority owner of the Bay Area team, part of a disturbing trend last season of negative fan-player interactions.

On Thursday night, it appeared to happen to the Toronto Raptors star a second time.

Lowry went for a loose ball late in the Raptors’ eventual win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on the road and saved it, getting into the second row at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, and as you’ll see from the video below, it clearly looks like a courtside fan gives him a two-handed shove that gets a reaction out of the guard:

Lowry said after the game that he didn’t know “If I’ll be able to control myself and hopefully I will” if this happens a third time to him.

Kyle Lowry: "You’re diving for a loose ball and a fan’s pushing you, it’s unbelievable man. Our fans, our NBA fans, shouldn’t be represented by people like him. It’s the second time it’s happened to me and it’s kind of getting crazy … 1/2

2/2 "because next time it happens I don’t know if I’ll be able to control myself and hopefully I will but …I couldn’t really react because I was in mid-play, but it will come up. Fans like that shouldn’t be in our buildings, in our arenas."

Cleveland.com reports the Cavs are “aware” of the incident and that they’re looking into it. And it’s awful that this keeps happening, especially to Lowry, but just in general.
