Another unfortunate player and fan interaction took place during the Toronto Raptors versus Indiana Pacers game at the Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Monday, as a spectator sitting courtside got under the skin of Kyle Lowry.
During a break in the action, a visibly irate Lowry came over to the direction of a trash-talking Pacers fan. Lowry turned around but was once again peeved by the rowdy individual, prompting Raptors forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson to step in and pacify the situation.

Lowry even pointed his finger at the offending fan in a bid to get him thrown out of the arena. Shortly after the game, Pacers reporter Scott Agness shed light on what caused the heated scenario.
Multiple fans courtside tell me the fan shouted “Stop whining,” at Kyle
Lowry, who then reacted. Pacers players heard it as well. Lowry did not discuss it postgame.The fan was interviewed, then returned to his seat. Building security has reviewed the tape.

The Pacers, meanwhile, got the better of the Raps in overtime, 120-115. Lowry came up with his second straight sensational game, notching 30 points, nine assists, and six boards in a losing effort.
Lowry's case will surely be up for review, as the league has been cracking down on player/fan altercations this season. Washington Wizards guard Isaiah Thomas has been suspended two games after entering the stands and confronting a fan last Friday.
