Who is going to protect Kevin Durant now?
BSO reported on how it was Kevin Durant’s bodyguard who ran onto the court when he was having an altercation with Bucks TJ Tucker.
The bodyguard has now been banned.
After running onto an NBA basketball court and shoving a player during a scuffle, a man reported to be Kevin Durant’s personal bodyguard has been suspended by the NBA.
The incident happened during the Bucks’ Game 3 win over the Nets on Thursday. Late in the third quarter, Durant and Bucks forward P.J. Tucker exchanged words after Tucker fouled Durant. The incident quickly escalated, prompting teammates and officials —and a man identified as Durant’s body guard — to intervene.
A man dressed in all black jumped into the middle of the tussle and shoved Tucker. The Bucks forward then turned his attention to the interloper before officials escorted Tucker to the sideline as the situation de-escalated. According to The Athletic’s Joe Vardon, that man is 35-year old Nets security official Antjuan Lambert. He’s also Durant’s personal bodyguard. Th Nets hired Lambert at Durant’s request, a practice that is not uncommon in the NBA, according to the report.
Wild times.
