Juan Guerra II, a devoted Oklahoma City Thunder enthusiast, received a caution from the NBA following a brief exchange with Kyrie Irving of the Dallas Mavericks during their Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals.
Guerra, who regularly attends all Thunder home games, nearly faced ejection from this particular match shortly after receiving the league’s notice. He subsequently shared images of the warning, including a red card, on social media platforms.
He additionally shared a video recounting the incident. In the video, he recounts that a basketball was thrown at him, prompting him to return it to referee Tony Brothers. He further narrates that Irving then threw the ball back at him “as if he were bowling,” approached him, and questioned, “what the f*** are you thinking?”
Guerra clarified that he simply informed Irving that he was returning the ball to Taylor. When Irving repeated his query, Guerra responded, “it’s too early in the game to be this soft,” concluding the interaction.
