The noise fromLakersfans inside Crypto.com Arena on Saturday night found its way toRocketsforwardKevin Durantwho was sitting on the bench in street clothes, confined to a spectator in a game he was supposed to dominate.
Durant is known for chirping at fans online, but during Game 1 of the NBA Playoffs, the superstar’s frustration with not being able to play because of a right knee injury boiled over onto Lakers’ fans and it took a turn for the worse after the game.
After the Rockets107-98 loss to the shorthanded Lakers in Game 1, Durant walked over to greet rapper Travis Scott, who was sitting along the baseline near Houston’s bench.
A video went viral of an unseen fan shouting something at Durant who claps back at the fan by saying:
“Get that grown man d— out of your mouth,” he says pointing at the fan before walking away to leave the court. The fan keeps shouting at Durant who just before exiting the floor once again points at the fan and says.
“Keep that d— out of your mouth, you’re [inaudible] yourself.”

The clip spread fast on social media because one of the greatest players in NBA history was caught on video saying some NSFW things to a Lakers fan.
Durant reportedly banged knees with a teammate during their practice session on Wednesday morning. The Rockets listed him as day-to-day with a right knee contusion. He warmed up prior to Game 1, but wasa late-scratchafter testing out the knee.
According toSam Amick of The Athletic, Durant is frustrated at the timing of the injury, and having to miss a playoff game because of it. Maybe it was that frustration that boiled over on the Lakers’ fan after the game?
