According to the Fever, the fan in question did not violate its Fan Code of Conduct and was not removed from the arena.
“Following a report of a comment directed toward a player, arena security spoke with the fan involved and witnesses," the team said in a statement, per The Athletic's James Boyd. "Security determined there was no violation of the Fan Code of Conduct, the fan was not removed from the arena. We consider the matter closed.”
