Could Steph Curry get suspended for hitting that fan?

Steph Curry hit a Cleveland fan with his infamous mouthguard in Game 6, so will that result in a Game 7 suspension?

The NBA Finals will reach a seventh game thanks to a rousing win by the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday night, but that wasn’t the only thing that happened. While one MVP was leading his team to a do-or-die game, another was getting kicked out of the game.

Steph Curry was ejected in the fourth quarter of the Game 6 loss after picking up a technical.

But as he was leaving the court, he created a bit of a stir that Cavaliers fans will be quick to jump on when it comes to a suspension in Game 7. Curry launched his mouthguard into the air and it hit a fan sitting court-side.

As you can see, there wasn’t any malice behind the throwing of the mouthguard, but does that excuse it in the eyes of the NBA?

The short answer is no.

There is no chance in hell that the NBA suspends the MVP of the league for Game 7 of the NBA Finals. Curry could have drop-kicked that fan in the baby maker and he probably would have only gotten fined.

Curry is the biggest X-factor in the NBA Finals, and he’s the Warriors best player. There’s no way the NBA is making the decision to suspend him, even if there’s a credible case that he should be. If you think he should be suspended, you’re not alone.

Cavaliers fans will insist that Curry be suspended for Game 7, but everyone else in the world knows better than that. Short of actually murdering someone on the court, no one is getting suspended for anything as we head to Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

And frankly, who would want that anyways?
