According to media reports, the Pacers fan had insulted Jusuf Nurkic through the match, after which Nurkic lost his temper worth tens of thousands of euros in fines.
Confrontation with the fan became costly for the injured center of the Portland Trail Blazers Jusuf Nurkicille. The NBA Basketball Professional League fined Nurkic € 36,000 for grabbing a fan sitting in the stands and tapping it in the stands.
The incident happened on Sunday after the Blazers lost to the Indiana Pacers in the away game 98-129.
The video shows Nurkic, who was sidelined from the lineup due to injury, exchanging words with a young Pacers fan. Nurkic then grabs the fan’s cell phone, throws it casually into the stands, and stares at the fan.
According to a Yahoo Sports reporter, that fan had insulted Nurkic through the match.
Nurkic, 27, has not played since February 16th.
