The fan who stormed the court during Game 1 of the NBA Finals was arrested after the incident and will be banned for life from all league arenas, an NBA spokesperson said in an update, per the Associated Press.
The spokesperson added that a second individual will also receive a lifetime ban for his role in the situation.
