According to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports, the fan made derogatory comments about Nurkic’s family.

The fan reportedly shouted “your mom is trash” at Nurkic and also called the star center’s grandmother a “b–ch.” Just for some reference, Nurkic’s grandmother died from COVID-19 in 2020.

This is why you don’t talk trash about people’s family. You really never know what’s going to set someone off, but a family chirp usually does the trick.
