The Warriors have apologized for the actions of part-owner Mark Stevens and confirmed that he was the man sitting courtside who pushed Raptors All-Star Kyle Lowry during Game 3 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday night. The team announced in a statement that he will not attend another Finals game.
Early in the fourth quarter of Toronto's 123-109 victory, Lowry dove in the stands to save a loose ball. As he was getting up after landing on some fans, Stevens shoved him, prompting Lowry to immediately ask the officials to intervene.
"Mr. Stevens' behavior last night did not reflect the high standards we hope to exemplify as an organization," the statement reads.
