Matt Barnes was ousted by NBC Sports after an altercation with a high school broadcaster during his son’s basketball game. The former NBA Champion and Sacramento Kings player had been working as an analyst for Kings games on NBC Sports California.
The incident involved Barnes disputing referees’ calls, confronting a 15-year-old student broadcaster, and putting his hand on him. Following the drama, Barnes semi-apologized, citing the student’s disrespect.
Despite the explanation, NBC Sports California decided to part ways with Barnes due to the incident.
