The Suns released a statement last night saying that they are aware of the incident that happened last night and are conducting a review. A fan that heard the whole conversation took to Twitter to say what really happened that caused Westbrook to get upset.

Visiting players have used that walkway all season long but I wouldn’t be shocked if from now on, the Clippers go through the tunnel entry and away from any potential fans moving forward.
Chris Haynes stated in a tweet that Russell Westbrook will most likely not be charged and that he’s expected to play in Game 2 tomorrow night at Footprint Center.
The likelihood of Russell Westbrook being suspended is extremely slim. He’s expected to be available for Game 2. https://t.co/0I8QVSqPe4
