The fan accused of verbally harassing Jalen Brunson has been banned from sitting courtside for the remainder of the Finals, an NBA spokesperson told The Post.
The league investigated the male fan after he allegedly heckled Brunson with profanities during Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
Brunson was so upset following the Knicks victory he was held back from approaching the fan by referee Scott Foster.
Now he doesn’t have to worry about that fan getting too close.
Even though the fan could still sit elsewhere in the arena, a league source said the fan was not expected to attend Friday’s Game 2 in San Antonio.
“The fan was not a season ticket holder and if he were to attend another game in this series, he would not be permitted to sit in courtside seats,” the league spokesman said.
