Kings’ Tristan Thompson has Grizzlies fan ousted over Kardashian comments: report

ONE Memphis Grizzlies fan was thrown out from Sunday night’s match against Sacramento Kings after allegedly commenting on Kardashians aimed at striker Tristan Thompson.

The incident came during the fourth quarter when Thompson, who shares a three-year-old daughter with Khloe Kardashian, became visibly upset by a fan sitting by the yard. According to TMZ Sport, he pointed out the man to security and officials, and after talking to the flag, he was booted from the arena.

Drew Hill, a Grizzlies beat writer for The Daily Memphian, later tweeted out that the tab was thrown out to comment on the Kardashians.

“Compared to several people around the tab who were thrown out of the Grizzlies game tonight, he was thrown out because he made comments about the Kardashian family in the direction of Tristan Thompson.”

“They can say what they want to me, or they can buh and do whatever they want with the players, but there’s no room to say inappropriate things in a sporting event. That’s not why you’re there.”
