Last season, Westbrook and a Phoenix Suns fan got into a shouting match during the Clippers’ playoff series in Phoenix. In December 2022 as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers, he had another angry exchange with a fan sitting courtside in Milwaukee.
"It’s unfortunate today fans can say whatever they want," Westbrook said Monday night. "I’m just protecting myself. Personally, I won’t allow it. I won’t stand for it."
