Hawks fuming after Knicks fan spat on Trae Young
NY Post
The Hawks are spitting mad.
A Knicks fan who was captured on video spitting on Hawks star Trae Young during the fourth quarter of Game 2 of their playoff series has been banned indefinitely from Madison Square Garden, according to a statement released by the Knicks. The 76ers ejected and banned a fan who dumped popcorn on Wizards star Russell Westbrook during their series. “The response by the Knicks banning him, I hope that lasts a long time, if not forever,” Hawks guard Kevin Huerter said. “Same with the fan in Philly. These fans, if you take away the barriers and take away security and you are face-to-face with an NBA player and you think you are going to do something like that, I doubt it’s going to go your way. People have to remember that.”
