Longtime Dallas Mavericks fan Don Knobler was back at American Airlines Center on Tuesday night after being banned for the remainder of last season for heckling Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley in December.

ESPN's Tim McMahon tweeted a photo of Knobler ahead of the Mavs' game against Beverley and the Clippers.

This was at least the second Mavericks game Knobler has attended this season, according to Mike Fisher of Sports Illustrated.

Beverley accused Knobler of saying "F--- your mother" twice during a Dec. 2 game last year, which the Mavs reportedly confirmed through an investigation. Beverley later threw a ball toward Knobler, leading to the player's ejection from the game and a $25,000 fine.

The Clippers defeated the Mavs 114-99 on Tuesday.
