On Monday afternoon, Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report reported that the NBA is launching an investigation regarding this interaction between fan and player.
"The league is looking into Russell Westbrook’s exchange with a Suns’ fan at halftime in the club area that’s used by some players and coaches as a shortcut to locker room and arena bowl," Haynes tweeted.
In his first playoff game with the Clippers, Westbrook posted nine points, 11 rebounds and eight assists in a five-point win against former teammate Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns.
