Matt Barnes has been fined $50K by the NBA for his comments to James Harden‘s mother during Game 2 of the Clippers series vs. the Houston Rockets.
According to Matt Barnes, he didn’t know that the comments he made were to Harden’s mom. He thought he was just heckling with a fan, he didn’t know until after who it was.
ABC News reports the following quotes on the matter:
“We’ve made our peace,” Barnes said. “We’ve spoken twice since the incident. She said something and I said something back. I’ve heard speculation to what I allegedly said, which is crazy and untrue but it is what it is. They’re trying to start controversy. She said something and I said something back. I spoke to her at halftime and I spoke to her after the game and we’re fine.”
“What I said was said and what she said was said. No matter what was said, we both said something,” he said. “I got a tongue lashing from Doc this morning and we’ve made our peace and I’m ready to play basketball.”
“In any situation when you’re talking about somebody’s parents it’s disrespectful,” Harden said. “I’m focused on Game 3 and we’re focused and locked in. It’s going to be some great intensity tonight. “
