SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Jazz has reportedly banned a second fan permanently after a video surfaced showing a fan yelling something offensive at Russell Westbrook.
The Desert News reported the video is from a 2018 postseason game, which allegedly shows a fan yelling a "degrading and offensive word" at Westbrook.
The report goes on to say a fan called Westbrook a "boy" before Game 4 of a first-round playoff game against the Jazz.
