"I dare a m*********** to spit on me. I'll follow you right to your house," Thompson said, far from okay about the incident. 

His comments have come days after Young was spat on at the Madison Square Garden during the Atlanta Hawks vs New York Knicks game. The incident did not end there, as Ja Morant's family was insulted by Jazz fans. Westbrook, who had popcorn thrown on him, had to be stopped from turning around and retaliating. Thompson, who was vocal about the Young incident, has been at the receiving end of racist comments in the past.

During the game at MSG, Young was reportedly spat on. Fans were booing him all the time, but it was acceptable till a fan ended up spitting on Young. The Knicks released a statement about the same, banning the fan from MSG indefinitely. "“We investigated the matter and determined that this patron, who is not a season ticket holder, did indeed spit on Trae Young, and for that reason, he is now banned from The Garden indefinitely," they wrote.

"We apologize to Trae and the entire Atlanta Hawks organization for this fan’s behavior. This was completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated in our venue. We have turned the information over to the appropriate authorities".

Who is Tristan Thompson girlfriend?

As per reports, the Tristan Thompson girlfriend is once again Khloe Kardashian. Tristan was involved in a public scandal, where he had been seen sharing an intimate moment with Jordyn Woods. Woods was Kylie Jenner's former best friend. While this happened, Khloe was pregnant with their daughter. 

Since then, Thompson has made countless attempts to redeem himself. He has been working to earn Khloe's trust again, which has also been shown in the popular show Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Now, after waiting for a long time, Khloe seems to have forgiven Thompson, as the two are reportedly back together.

Recently, there were cheating rumours again, which Thompson refuted.
