TwoĀ fans who were sitting courtside at WednesdayāsĀ Indiana Pacers-Los Angeles LakersĀ game were ejected fromĀ Gainbridge Fieldhouse arena after a visibly upset LeBron James pointed them out toĀ officials.
After walking over and pointing them out, the two spectators were escorted out of the arena. Itās unclear exactly what the two fans said or did to LeBron to get him worked up enough to get them kicked out.
While speaking afterĀ the game, LeBron addressed the situation, saying, āWhen obscene gestures and language come into it, canāt be tolerated,āĀ CBS4ās Chris WidlicĀ reported. According to USA Today, James added, āThereās a difference from cheering for your team and not wanting the other team to win and things I would never say to a fan and they shouldnāt say to me.ā
Despite the incident,Ā LeBron and the Lakers were able to walk away with a win against the Pacers. The final score of the game, which went into overtime, was 124-116. James recorded aĀ season-high of 39 points during the game.
Also after the game, LeBron, who just got back after being suspended, addressed what went down between him and Detroit Pistons player Isaiah Stewart.
