Detroit Pistons general manager Troy Weaver gets into furious argument with a fan in the stands and tells him ‘you’re lucky I don’t beat your a**’ – after being told he ‘sucks at his job’

Detroit Pistons General manager Troy Weaver became involved in a heated argument with a fan in the stands Saturday night after being told he “sucks at his job.”

The Pistons are the worst team in the NBA and lost their 53rd game of the season against the Dallas Mavericks, which was apparently the turning point for one fan.

The furious exchange was shared on social media and Weaver was seen telling the man: “I don’t give a damn… you’re lucky I don’t beat your ass.”

At the end of the TikTok clip, the anonymous fan can be heard claiming that General Manager Weaver had “threatened” him.

It is understood the man was removed from the arena for safety after being flagged down by Weaver, who was separated from the main population by a barrier.

Detroit Pistons general manager Troy Weaver took issue with a fan’s comments on Saturday.

Weaver declined to comment Sunday when asked by the Associated Press.

Jeffrey Calloway, a 46-year-old season ticket holder from Detroit, said he was sitting near Weaver when the fan approached the team’s general manager twice before being escorted away.

“The guy who was in the incident, wearing Red Wings gear, walked up and pointed to the scoreboard earlier in the game,” Calloway said in a phone interview Sunday.

‘Troy Weaver just shrugged and said, “Okay,” and the guy went back to his seat.

‘When (Jalen) Duren got ejected (midway through the fourth quarter), the guy came back and told him he was terrible at his job. Then Troy Weaver was telling the fan that he had to leave and that’s when the ushers or security came over.

Weaver can be heard telling the man ‘you’re lucky I didn’t hit your butt’ during the argument.

The Pistons have had a poor season this season and have lost a league-worst 53 games so far.

The fan was escorted out of the seating area by security workers.

Detroit set a single-season league record with 28 consecutive losses earlier this season and entered Sunday tied with Washington for the worst record in the league.

The Pistons gave Weaver his first chance to be a general manager and their record is 70-229 under him in three-plus seasons.

Detroit hosts Charlotte on Monday night in its next game.
