Washington Wizards guard Isaiah Thomas was suspended for two games for entering the stands Saturday night to confront fans who were heckling him, the NBA announced.
WASHINGTON WIZARDS’ ISAIAH THOMAS CONFRONTS FAN IN STANDS WHO GIVES FINGER, CURSES AT HIMThomas said one of the unnamed fans repeatedly cursed and gave the middle finger because their team’s loss wouldn’t get them a free milkshake.
Late in the fourth quarter of the game, Thomas walked to the stands and verbally approached a 76ers fan who had “both of his middle fingers up, and said, ‘F— you, b—-‘ three times.”
Speaking calmly to reporters after the game, Thomas said he missed a first free throw and made a second and that’s when he spotted the man.
But Thomas said he thinks the league won’t suspend him for such actions and will understand where he was coming from.
