NBA Fans are reacting strongly after news surfaced involving Los Angeles Lakers forward Jaxson Hayes and the Washington Wizards’ mascot, G-Wiz.
According to @big_business_, “Nearly two weeks after Lakers forward Jaxson Hayes shoved the Washington Wizards’ mascot G-Wiz during pregame introductions,” the person behind the costume has “lawyered up.”
The report also quoted G-Wiz’s lawyer, who stated, “We will give them the opportunity to resolve the matter before taking legal action, but legal action is anticipated.”
That update quickly spread among NBA Fans, and the reactions were sharp. Some focused on the current incident, while others brought up Hayes’ past legal trouble.
@SlanderCapital did not hold back, posting, “Hayes is a POS women beater anyways.. he deserve whatever is coming.”

The comment gained traction as NBA Fans debated both the mascot situation and Hayes’ previous off-court issues.
Not everyone agreed with the tone. @11lakerForever pushed back with, “Still a millionaire while you broke af.” That only sparked more replies. @SlanderCapital doubled down, responding, “Still a women beater..”
The NBA Fans never forget even as the conversation moved from a simple pregame shove to Hayes previous domestic violence charges in 2021. In today’s league, eyes are always on you and actions can lead to headlines. And NBA Fans are watching closely to see how this unfolds.
NBA Fans Question Motives And Consequences In Hayes–Mascot Dispute
NBA Fans continue to debate what should come next after the report that the Wizards’ mascot plans to pursue legal action. While some believe the push crossed a line, others are asking for more context.
@Mrxptc sided firmly with the mascot, writing, “Good! Jaxson Hayes had no business putting his hands on the mascot who’s just doing their job.”
That view reflects a portion of NBA Fans who feel players must respect arena staff and performers, regardless of the setting.
Others responded with humor. @TundeSilk joked, “Imagine him going to court in his costume.”
The image alone was enough to spark lighter replies, even as the legal angle remains serious.
Still, not all NBA Fans are convinced the story is clear-cut. @botting_k asked, “Nah but why’d he even push him though?”
That question has lingered under multiple posts. Some NBA Fans want video, context, or explanation before fully taking sides.
The situation highlights how quickly moments during introductions can spiral into larger controversies. For NBA Fans, this isn’t just about a mascot and a shove. It touches on player conduct, past history, and how public figures are judged in real time.
If legal action moves forward, the outcome could set a tone for how similar incidents are handled in the future. Until then, NBA Fans remain divided between those calling for accountability and those asking for more information before drawing final conclusions.
