Across the course of the season, players have lashed out at courtside fans belittling and heckling them persistently. However, Jusuf Nurkic decided he didn’t only want to limit himself to exchanging words with him deciding to throw a fan’s phone straight into the stands after the two squabbled.
According to a security guard who was witness to the scuffle, the fan in question kept on calling Nurkic who is currently injured trash across the course of the fourth quarter. And with him relentless in his jibes, it was enough to set off Jusuf during the Indiana Pacers’ clobbering of the Portland Trail Blazers.
As the final buzzer rung, Jusuf made his way to a group of fans sitting courtside before grabbing one fan’s phone and throwing it away. Nurkic made sure he gave the man a good stare down as well before walking away without uttering a single word.
It is yet unclear as to what exactly was said to have triggered off Jusuf like this.
