A Sacramento Kings fan who had been ejected for a previous incident with Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine has returned to his regular courtside spot. The fan was seen sitting in his usual position directly behind the Kings’ bench during a recent home game at Golden 1 Center.
The earlier altercation occurred when LaVine appeared to exchange words with the fan during the game, leading officials to remove the spectator from the premises. Despite the controversy, no formal punishment seems to have extended beyond that night.
Eyewitnesses reported that security maintained a close watch on the fan during his return appearance, though no further issues were noted. The incident has since sparked debate among basketball fans about the limits of courtside behavior and the balance between fan enthusiasm and respect for players.
“Players should feel safe and respected on the court,” one fan commented online after seeing the footage.
