The NBA banned Golden State Warriors part-owner Mark Stevens from attending any league games or team activities for one year and fined him $500,000 after he pushed Toronto’s Kyle Lowry during a game on Wednesday night.

Stevens pushed and swore at Lowry after the player dived into the stands chasing a loose ball during Game 3 of the series in Oakland, California. The billionaire venture-capital investor was ejected after the incident.
