Enough fans were ejected that it warranted an article on ESPN where Tim MacMahon confirmed that two fans were thrown out after minority owner Mark Cuban yelled at them to "Shut the f--- up and sit the f--- down!" One of the fans involved was wearing a t-shirt featuring owner Miram Adelson wearing a clown nose. He confirmed the story on X.

One fan was kicked out by security for mouthing the words “Fire Nico” while on the Jumbotron to sing Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” and later showing off a sign with the same message during Dallas’ 129-128 loss to the Kings in overtime.
