According to a video of the incident, Westbrook cursed at the fan after he told the 34-year-old point guard to “take it like a man.”

“Watch your mouth, motherf-----, watch your mouth,” Westbrook shouted back before a security guard stepped in between the pair.

“Talk about it, be about it,” the fan told Westbrook as the Clippers star turned his back and walked away.

Although it is unclear what led to the tense exchange between Westbrook and the Suns' fan, a spokesperson for the Phoenix NBA team confirmed the incident is being investigated.
