The Dallas Mavericks are banning two fans until 2023 for an incident involving the family of Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul, the team announced on Monday.

The unruly fans gave "unwanted hugs" and attempted to converse with Paul's family in the public concourse of the American Airlines Center during Dallas' 111-101 Game 4 victory on Sunday.

Both fans were ejected from the game soon after the altercation occurred.

Paul tweeted his displeasure following the contest, though little information was known at the time.
