OFFICIAL 2022 Playoffs round WCSF 2 SERIES Mavs and Suns

[BPo001]

The Dallas Mavericks announced on Monday that they have banned two "unruly fans" who "attempted to give unwanted hugs" to members of Chris Paul's family on Sunday.

The ban remains in place for the remainder of the postseason. The fans will be allowed back for Mavericks home games in 2023.

"American Airlines Center and Dallas Mavericks security and executives have concluded the investigation into the incident involving the Paul family," a Mavericks statement reads. "Two unruly fans attempted to give unwanted hugs and have conversations with members of the Paul family on the public concourse of American Airlines Center.

"AAC security responded immediately once notified by the family and the fans were swiftly ejected from the game. The fans involved in the incident will not be allowed to return to the arena until 2023."

The announcement concludes a team investigation prompted after Paul complained about fans putting their "hands on" his family during Sunday's Game 4 between the Mavericks and Phoenix Suns.

I’m also kinda curious.. did the fan know this was Chris Paul’s family? Not that it makes a difference, but just not sure how you would know.

Hopefully some courtside fans will wear t-shirts in game 6 that says something like "Free hugs here"

game 6? More like Game 5.

I'm in Arizona and I've never gone to a Suns game where at least 1/3 of the crowd wasn't wearing opposing jerseys.

Back before the Suns were good it was often 2/3.

Suns have very few fans that aren't bandwagon. Most fans are people that had to move from Milwaukee to Phoenix for a job and go to Suns games to watch the Bucks play.
