国王队球迷回传球太用力被逐出场：妻子发帖称是胸传肌肉记忆、他并无恶意
一名坐在场边的萨克拉门托国王队球迷，因为把界外球用力传回给裁判，被当场逐出球馆，视频在社交平台疯传。11月7日，他的妻子、曾在萨克拉门托做过近20年电视新闻的三届艾美奖记者Kellie DeMarco在Instagram发帖替丈夫说话：他打过多年篮球，那记传球只是胸传的肌肉记忆，他并无恶意，对裁判只有尊重。
事情发生在11月4日晚，加州萨克拉门托县萨克拉门托市的Golden 1 Center球馆，洛杉矶湖人队以116比103战胜国王队。第三节还剩2分35秒时，湖人球员Jarred Vanderbilt封盖了国王球员Malik Monk的一记投篮，球飞出界外，落进坐在底线附近第一排的这名球迷怀里。据多家媒体报道，这名球迷名叫Duncan DeMarco，曾打过大学篮球。他拿起球，以一记胸传把球传向裁判Chelisa Painter，力道过大，裁判当时并未做好接球准备。
站在附近的湖人球星卢卡·东契奇（Luka Doncic）当即上前质问。东契奇赛后说：「他就是把球朝裁判扔过去，力道很强。我只是问他，你到底在干什么？」球场安保随即把这名球迷带离座位，逐出球馆，妻子则留在了场边。这一幕被现场视频拍下后在社交平台扩散，球迷之间争论不休：有人认为逐出过重，也有人认为场边观众不该这样回传球。
Kellie DeMarco在帖子里贴出夫妻两人在场边的合影，配文标题是「约会之夜走红网络」。她写道：「是的，这是我亲爱的丈夫，是的，他就是那个被逐出NBA比赛的人。我做了近20年电视新闻，他的上镜时间比我还多。他打了多年篮球，显然胸传的肌肉记忆一直都在。他并无恶意，他对这件事被看成这样感到很难过，他对裁判只有尊重。」她还感谢了发来善意留言的人，说夫妻俩热爱国王队和这座城市，并开玩笑说：「还有，他不是Steve Kerr，我看到评论了。」
据SB Nation专栏作者Ricky O'Donnell的看法，仅凭传球的力道无法判断这名球迷是否有恶意，这次逐出是否恰当仍有争议。截至发稿，未见联盟对这一事件追加处罚的公开报道。
Kings Fan Ejected After Forceful Chest Pass to Referee: Wife Says It Was Muscle Memory and He Meant No Harm
A courtside Sacramento Kings fan was ejected from the arena after returning an out-of-bounds ball to a referee with a forceful chest pass, in a moment that went viral on social media. On November 7, his wife Kellie DeMarco, a three-time Emmy Award-winning journalist who spent nearly 20 years in television news in Sacramento, posted on Instagram in his defense: he played basketball for years, the pass was chest-pass muscle memory, he meant no harm, and he has nothing but respect for the officials.
The incident happened on the night of November 4 at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, Sacramento County, California, where the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Kings 116-103. With 2:35 left in the third quarter, Lakers forward Jarred Vanderbilt blocked a shot by Kings guard Malik Monk, and the ball went out of bounds into the lap of the fan seated in the front row near the baseline. Multiple outlets identified the fan as Duncan DeMarco, a former college basketball player. He picked up the ball and chest-passed it toward referee Chelisa Painter with too much force, while the official was not prepared to receive it.
Lakers star Luka Doncic, standing nearby, confronted the fan on the spot. Doncic said afterward: 'He just tossed it really strong, the ball, toward the ref. I just asked him what the hell he is doing.' Arena security escorted the fan from his seat and out of the arena, while his wife remained courtside. Video of the exchange spread across social platforms and split fans: some called the ejection excessive, while others said courtside spectators should not return a ball that way.
Kellie DeMarco posted a courtside photo of the couple captioned 'When date night goes viral.' She wrote: 'Yes, this is my sweet husband, and yes, he is the guy who got ejected from an NBA game. I spent nearly 20 years in TV news, and he is getting more airtime than me. He played basketball for years, and apparently the chest pass muscle memory never left. He meant no harm, he feels terrible that it came across the wrong way, and he has nothing but respect for the officials.' She thanked people for their kind messages, said the couple loves the Kings and the Sacramento community, and joked: 'And no, he is not Steve Kerr, I have read the comments.'
SB Nation columnist Ricky O'Donnell wrote that the force of the pass alone cannot establish intent, and whether the ejection was warranted remains debated. As of publication, there were no public reports of further league discipline over the incident.
