The Utah Jazz has issued a lifetime ban to the fan (Shane Keisel) who waged in the verbal altercation with OKC Thunder superstar Russell Westbrook. The National Basketball Association has fined Russell Westbrook $25,000 for his part in the altercation.
Kudos to the Jazz and Larry H. Miller ownership group for acting swiftly in this manner and taking the appropriate actions.
The press release states the franchise conducted a thorough investigation which included a review of all film and eye witness accounts. The OKC Thunder players said security was nearby during the verbal accosting which means each of these employees were likely deposed.
