"Monumental Sports & Entertainment has a zero tolerance policy when fans violate our code of conduct at Capital One Arena," MSE tweeted.
The incident occurred in the second half of the game at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., on Monday. Security tackled the fan while Philadelphia backup center Dwight Howard stood over the trespasser and appeared to have a word.
This comes just five days after a fan threw popcorn at Washington guard Russell Westbrook in Game 2 after the Wizards star was leaving Wells Fargo Center with a knee injury. That fan was banned and his season tickets were revoked. On that same day, a New York Knicks fan at Madison Square Garden was banned for spitting at Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young.
