The beer cup did not hit a Spurs player but it did delay the game as the spill was cleaned up. Following the game, Boston head coach Brad Stevens was visibly upset over the incident. “I do think I probably should’ve started by saying, you know, it’s – I’m sure the Celtics have already addressed this as an organization, but if not, then I apologized to the Spurs for what happened out of the stands and that can being thrown,” Stevens said.

Turner, by the way, is back on social media. It’s not because he wants to be there but because he has to do it. These are advertising platforms after all. “The way I view fans, if they don’t love you, they hate you. You can’t pay (attention) to all that kind of stuff,” Turner said. “The only reason I reactivated is because I had to. I had certain obligations with certain companies. If it wasn’t for that I’d probably still be off social media.”
