A Boston fan has been banned through next season after allegedly calling Warriors center DeMarcus Cousins the n-word during a Jan. 26 game against the Celtics at TD Garden, according to a report from Yahoo! Sports.
After the racial slur was said to Cousins, according to Yahoo! Sports, Cousins told Warriors team security, who then contacted TD Garden security to handle the situation. Cousins and the Warriors were not told about the ban until recently.
Although the Celtics do not own TD Garden, they generally have the authority to hand down bans in these situations, working in concert with arena security.
