The Indiana Pacers and the Portland Trail Blazers faced each other this Sunday in a game that will surely be little or nothing remembered in a very short time, it was played at the home of the Eastern Conference, who are already mathematically eliminated from the NBA playoffs, their rivals are still fighting for something, however, their performance in the game makes you think they are not very interested in the present.
But beyond Indiana’s 129-98 win over Portland, what caught the media’s attention after the game was the attitude of Bosnian center Jusuf Nurkic, who did not play the game because he has been injured for some time due to a plantar fasciitis that has him certainly frustrated for not being able to help his team.
What did Jusuf Nurkic do?
But beyond that frustration, the anger came to invade the giant that after the end of the game was rebuked by an Indiana fan who was sitting in the front row with his cell phone in his hand, immediately snatched the device and threw it away while visibly annoyed rebuked the fan.
This is not the first time an incident with fans and players has occurred at Gainbridge Fieldhouse this season, as late last year, LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers, in the only visit of the Californians this season, demanded that two individuals who made vulgar comments towards him be removed from the court.
Other incidents between players and fans
In addition to the “King” and Nurkic, other players have been victims of verbal harassment by fans, the most famous cases being those of Rajon Rondo, Carmelo Anthony and Russell Westbrook, all members of the Lakers and the last of them with several incidents that have even upset the family of the point guard.
