Detroit Pistons general manager Troy Weaver got into a heated conflict with a fan.

At one point during the game between the Pistons and the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday, Weaver got into a verbal conflict with one of the fans in attendance. Video shared online shows Weaver shouting, 'You're lucky I don't beat your ass.'

In response, the fan says, 'You suck at your job!', later claiming Weaver threatened him. Weaver then proceeded to ask the fan to be removed, which ultimately did take place.

According to a fan nearby, interviewed by WXYZ-TV, it was the culmination of an exchange that was happening between the two men throughout the game. Namely, the fan had previously pointed at the scoreboard after coming over near Weaver.

When Detroit's Jalen Duren got ejected, that's when it escalated further, the report states.

There haven't been any official statements from either NBA or the Pistons so far.
