A Dallas Mavericks fan who heckled Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley into an ejection last month has been banned from the American Airlines Center for the remainder of the season, according to Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com.

On Dec. 2, Beverley was tossed after throwing a hard bounce pass in the direction of Mavericks fan Dan Knobler. After the game, Beverley said that Knobler yelled “(Expletive) your mother!” at him twice during the contest.

“I told the referee, I told the security,” Beverley said to reporters after the game. “I mean, I've never gotten ejected out of a game since I've been in the NBA. You know, I play hard, I play within the lines, of course. I play within the rules, of course. I've never been ejected in my career in the NBA, but I'm a grown man. I have morals. Of course, God is first, family is second for me, and I stand firmly behind that.”

Beverley said that when fans begin to talk about his family, that's when things cross the line.

“I just, I can accept the ‘(expletive) you, Beverley,' the ‘(expletive) you, Pat,' but out of the lines of my mother, anybody who knows me, man, knows I'm a family-first guy, and there's some things that are unacceptable. After I told the refs, I told security, the Dallas security, told both of them and again, he said it again. So if no one is going to control fans, what are we supposed to do as players?”

Knobler has been a long-time ticket holder and has frequented Mavericks games for years. Sources have also said that fans have complained about Knobler heckling other players, as well.
