“The Dallas Mavericks are aware of an incident between a fan and the family of Chris Paul. It was unacceptable behavior and will not be tolerated. The Mavericks, along with American Airlines Center, swiftly removed the fan from today’s game," the team said in a statement, via Tim MacMahon of ESPN.

Video footage from ESPN's telecast showed Paul visibly upset while speaking with security, saying "he put his hands on my mom, he put his hands on my mom."

According to ESPN's Dave McMenamin, Paul was upset because his "mother had hands put on her by Dallas fans and Paul's wife was also pushed."

After the game, Paul was very upset by what had allegedly occurred behind the Suns' bench and took to Twitter to share his frustration.

"Wanna fine players for saying stuff to the fans but the fans can put they hands on our families….f**k that!!"
