Russell Westbrook was involved in another furious exchange with a fan during the Clippers' latest defeat on Monday night.
Westbrook and the fan got into a heated row late on as Los Angeles were beaten by a Denver Nuggets team missing Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon.
Referee Lauren Holtkamp came over and stood between Westbrook and the seats in the final 30 seconds of the game.
Two security personnel then came on court while former Clipper DeAndre Jordan appeared to encourage an agitated Westbrook to move away from the situation.
The male fan was in the row behind the courtside seats at Crypto.com Arena. He pointed his fingers at his head while yelling in Westbrook's direction.

'I'm not going to speak on it because it´s not appropriate,' Westbrook said when asked what the fan shouted at him.
'It's unfortunate today fans can say whatever they want.
'I'm just protecting myself. Personally, I won't allow it. I won't stand for it.'
Last season, Westbrook and a Phoenix Suns fan got into a heated exchange at halftime in a club area at Footprint Center during the Clippers' playoff series.
The nine-time All-Star was seen squaring up to a man in a Suns polo shirt and hat as he made his way back onto the court after the break.
It is not known what the man said to the player to spark the argument, but as Westbrook leant down speak to him, he rose to meet the player on his level.
A security guard stood his ground between the pair, but he was unable to stop the words that flew between the two men, with Westbrook audibly telling the spectator to 'watch your mouth'.
He retorts that Westbrook should take his comments 'like a man' before Westbrook snapped back: 'watch your mouth, motherf*****!'

Westbrook had 14 points and 11 rebounds on another disappointing night for the Clippers
In December 2022, when Westbrook played for the Los Angeles Lakers, he also had another angry exchange with a fan sitting courtside at a game in Milwaukee.
The incident compounded another dismal night for the Clippers, who were undone by two of their former players.
Reggie Jackson had season highs of 35 points and 13 assists and Jordan added season bests of 21 points and 13 rebounds as they shone on their return to Los Angeles.
Kawhi Leonard scored 31 points and Ivica Zubac added 23 points and 14 rebounds for the Clippers, who had won four of their previous five games.
Westbrook had 14 points and 11 rebounds of his own and James Harden added 11 points for the Clippers, who could not overcome a rough shooting night for leading scorer Paul George, who finished 2 of 13 from the field and scored six points.
Los Angeles is 4-7 since Harden was acquired from the Philadelphia 76ers.
