Kyle Lowry, košarkaš Toronto Reptorsa, nakon treće utakmice finalne serije izrazio je želju da član Izvršnog odbora Golden State Warriorsa, koji ga je gurnuo, bude izbačen iz NBA lige.

No, rukovodstvo lige mu nije ispunilo želju jer je Marka Stevensa kaznilo sa godinom zabrane obavljanja bilo kakvih aktivnosti u vezi s timom i 500.000 dolara (oko 440.000 eura), prenosi Anadolija.

Stevens jedan od manjinskih vlasnika Warriorsa i član Izvršnog odbora kažnjen je u četvrtak, dan nakon što je gurnuo Lowryja u posljednjoj četvrtini treće utakmice finala NBA lige. NBA je objavila odluku ubrzo nakon što je Lowry kazao da Stevens "ne bi trebao biti dio naše lige".

- Ponašanje gospodina Stevensa u sinoćnjoj utakmici ne odražava visok standard za koji se nadamo da ćemo pokazati kroz organizaciju. Izuzetno smo razočarani njegovim postupcima i, zajedno sa gospodinom Stevensom, nudimo naše iskreno izvinjenje Kyleu Lowryju i Toronto Raptorsima zbog ovog nesretnog ponašanja - saopćili su iz Golden State Warriorsa.

Lowry je u pokušaju da spasi loptu "uletio" u prvi red publike. Stevens, koji je imao akreditaciju izdatu od NBA lige sjedio je dva mjesta dalje od onoga na koje je pao Lowry. Potom je Stevens odgurnuo Lowryja i verbalno ga napao.

U finalnoj seriji, koja se igra na četiri dobijene utakmice, Toronto vodi sa 2:1.

There’s absolutely no place in our BEAUTIFUL game for that AT ALL. There’s so many issues here. When you sit courtside you absolutely know what comes with being on the floor and if you don’t know it’s on the back on the ticket itself that states the guidelines. But he himself being a fan but more importantly PART-OWNER of the Warriors knew exactly what he was doing which was so uncalled for. He knew the rules more than just the average person sitting watching the game courtside so for that Something needs to be done ASAP! A swift action for his actions. Just think to yourself, what if @kyle_lowry7 would have reacted and put his hands back on him. You guys would be going CRAZY!! Calling for him to damn near be put in jail let alone being suspended for the rest of the Finals all because he was protected himself. I’ve been quite throughout the whole NBA playoffs watching every game (haven’t missed one) but after I saw what I saw last night, took time to let it manifest into my thinking I couldn’t and wouldn’t be quiet on this! #ProtectThePlayers #PrivilegeAintWelcomeHere
