According to sources close to the family, Lee's son was knocked down by another player during the game, causing an injury. When she and her husband went to check on him, she reacted angrily (swatted) towards the offending player.
The boy did not push her son down, they bumped into each other. She didnt act angrily she acted stupidly. Her son wasnt to bad injured bc he got up fine after that and shot the ball.
