Lowry called for Stevens to be barred permanently from NBA games. In a press conference Thursday in California, the player thanked the NBA and the Warriors for their initial statements but advocated for more. He added that Stevens told him to “go f--- yourself” multiple times.
“It’s not a good look for the ownership group that they have,” he said. “A guy like that, showing his true class, he shouldn’t be a part of our league. There’s no place for that.”
LeBron James, the biggest star in the NBA, echoed those remarks earlier on Thursday.
Stevens “himself being a fan but more importantly PART-OWNER of the Warriors knew exactly what he was doing which was so uncalled for,” James said on Instagram. “He knew the rules more than just the average person sitting watching the game courtside so for that something needs to be done ASAP!”
