The witness said Suns security made arena security aware of the situation. A second witness believes it happened shortly after Paul fouled out.
He’s a kid. I think he was just overwhelmed that his actions have consequences in the real world

After the game, Paul was the first Suns player in the visiting media room and was answering questions before teammate Devin Booker joined him.
The two All-Stars often do joint postgame interviews and leave together.
This time, Paul left early in a bit of haste while Booker was still answering questions.
On Monday, the Mavericks announced that two fans involved in the incident would be banned “until 2023.”
The team’s investigation found that “two unruly fans attempted to give unwanted hugs and have conversations with members of the Paul family on the public concourse of American Airlines Center.”
The fan incident was the worst part of this Mother’s Day that saw Paul pick up four fouls in the first half with the final one coming with 1.1 seconds left in the second quarter.
Scoring just five points for the game on 2-of-4 sh’oo’ting, Paul went after his miss and was called for a foul.
