Kyle Lowry calls out fan who shoved him on sidelines: “Hopefully he never comes back to an NBA game”

A somewhat overlooked part of the Toronto Raptors’ 123-109 win over the Golden State Warriors in Game 3 of the NBA Finals was Kyle Lowry’s encounter with an angry fan.

While diving for a loose ball at approximately the midway mark through the third quarter, the Raptors jumped into the crowd and collided with courtside fans. Shortly after, an unidentified man shoved him in disgust while he was trying to get back on the court. Lowry expressed his disgust with the referees, which led to the fan getting ejected following the TV timeout.

Lowry was asked about the incident after the game, and didn’t hold back on his opinion of the fan’s actions.

“He had no reason to touch me” said Lowry.

“He had no reason to reach over two seats and then say some vulgar language to me. There’s no place for people like that in our league, and hopefully he never comes back to an NBA game.”

One thing we know for sure is a new fan will be sitting in that seat when the Warriors host the Raptors again for Game 4 on Friday.
