Brett Davis-USA TODAY Sports

The Hawks are investigated an incident on Monday night in which four fans were ejected after exchanging words with LeBron James, Atlanta CEO Steve Koonin told The Athletic.

Referees briefly stopped the Lakers' win at State Farm Arena in the fourth quarter after James appeared to argue with fans sitting courtside. One of the ejected fans, Juliana Carlos explained her side of the story late Monday night and alleges James cursed at her and her husband.

James acknowledged the back-and-forth with Carlos and other fans postgame.
