According to sources, several family members of Chris Paul in attendance for Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Dallas Mavericks were harassed and physically contacted by a fan in the crowd.
After the Mavs tied the series 2-2 on social media, Paul addressed the disturbing Mother's Day incident.
He said that he was fine with players saying stuff to the fans, but the fans could put it in the hands of their families.
Robin and her two children watched the game in close proximity to the Suns bench at American Airlines Center, according to sources. According to a source familiar with the situation, Paul's mother put her hands on his wife and his kids were there to witness it.
A different source said that Paul's wife was followed up the aisle when she left her seat.
It was unacceptable behavior and will not be accepted by the Mavericks organization. The fan was removed from the game by the Mavericks and American Airlines Center.
Paul consulted with security personnel stationed near the Suns bench to express his concern about what his family was being subjected to after he was limited to five points in 23 minutes.
A source familiar with the situation said that they felt very unsafe.
