Warriors minority owner Mark Stevens has been banned for a year from attending NBA games and team activities after his altercation with Raptors guard Kyle Lowry in Golden State’s Game 3 loss at Oracle Arena, the NBA and the Warriors announced Thursday.
This means Stevens, who has also been fined $500,000, won’t be able to take part in Golden State’s debut season at Chase Center in San Francisco. The punishment came down after the NBA and the Warriors conducted an investigation into Stevens’ behavior in Game 3.
Early in the fourth quarter Wednesday, while pursuing a loose ball, Lowry collided with two fans sitting in courtside seats and knocked one of them back.
