Mavericks Release Updated Statement on Incident Involving Chris Paul's Family

The two fans who physically interacted with Paul's family are not allowed to attend games until 2023.

On Sunday, two Dallas Mavericks fans were involved in a physical altercation with Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul's family. 

According to The Athletic's Shams Charania, the Mavericks released the following statement:

"American Airlines Center and Dallas Mavericks security and executives have concluded the investigation into the incident involving the Paul family. Two unruly fans attempted to give unwanted hugs and have conversations with members of the Paul family on the public concourse of American Airlines Center. AAC security responded immediately once notified by the family and the fans were swiftly ejected from the game. The fans involved in the incident will not be allowed to return to the arena until 2023."

Late Sunday night, ESPN's Dave McMenamin reported this:

"Paul's mother, Robin, as well as his wife, Jada, and their two children watched the game in seats close behind the Suns' bench at American Airlines Center, sources told ESPN. His mother had hands put on her and his wife was pushed, a source familiar with the situation told ESPN, and Paul's kids were there to witness it. Paul's wife was also followed up the aisle when she left her seat, a separate source said."

Here's a video of the two fans being escorted out.

The Suns are set to visit Dallas again on Thursday evening for Game 6.
