[Saba Sports News] Dennis Schroder confronted a fan Friday night after the fan taunted his teammate, Ben Simmons.
Following the Nets’ 116-101 loss to the Orlando Magic, a video surfaced showing the incident. In the clip, a fan called Simmons “trash,” prompting Simmons to respond, “why didn’t you say it when I was there, p–sy.”
Not letting it go, Schroder, now in his second season with the Nets, returned to the tunnel to find the fan who insulted Simmons. He asked for the fan to be pointed out, then engaged him directly.
As players and security gathered, the situation settled, and the Nets took the court. It’s clear that fans can’t trash-talk players around Schroder without expecting a response.
