Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant had a heated exchange with two Dallas Mavericks fans who allegedly called him a slur during the pregame warmups on Tuesday night.
Durant was jogging onto the court when he heard the fans shout “b*tch” at him. Durant then turned around and confronted the fans, who were holding beers and sitting near the front row.
The fans appeared to act innocent and even asked Durant for a high-five or handshake, but the Suns forward was not amused. He had a brief conversation with them before returning to the court.
However, Durant showed some compassion when he saw that the security guards were about to eject the fans from the arena. He told the guards to let them stay and watch the game.
