Deadspin knew it earlier than anyone, and now it’s been officially stated by one of the parties involved: Antonio Davis’s wife Kendra is at fault for this whole thing.
According to [Michael] Axelrod, he was sitting in the seventh row and booed an official’s call. Kendra Davis “came out of her seat. I didn’t even pay attention to her. I thought she was just going to the bathroom or something,” he said.
Axelrod, who was sitting a couple of rows behind her, said she yelled at him to be quiet. Axelrod said he did not know she was Davis’ wife until the player ran into the stands.
Axelrod said Kendra Davis put both hands on his face, and that he motioned for security. He said she later went after another fan.
We’ve been waiting for something to finally pull the fan and athlete closer together – shame on us for not thinking of “lawsuit” as the answer. This is no big deal – two fans got in an argument, blahblahblah. If “Fan A” wasn’t a player’s psycho wife, nobody would care, but instead we’re about to be treated to 3 weeks of “YOU’LL DIE IF YOU GO WATCH SPORTS!!!”
Here’s Axelrod’s attorney’s website. Jay Paul Eratany – looks like he’s set some records in Illinois for medical malpractice awards.
This is a profile of Axelrod’s father David, who’s a big-time political consultant. The number we found for Michael Axelrod has been disconnected, which sucks – we were going to ask him which animal he’d like his dad’s head Photoshopped onto.
UPDATE: We just saw on PTI that Antonio Davis has been suspended for 5 games, starting tonight.

ZEBRA…MAKE IT A ZEBRA!!!
I was courtside at a Raps/Sixers game a few years back and there was a woman behind me making a racket at the players for the whole game. Eventually Tyrone Hill came flying into the stands (and me) after a loose ball. The play was called and this woman got right in Hill’s face and started letting him have it, wagging her finger. It was Davis’ wife.
Shortly after someone was shooting a foul shot at our end and Davis, lined up on the key, turned around and mouthed words, effectively saying “shut your mouth now.”
She also had a show on Raptors TV and Charles Oakley cooked her collard greens and something with ham in it. She lasted about one more episode and that was that. Her getting a show was supposed to be part of Davis’ contract.
He was an All-Star here, you know.

David Axelrod isn’t the king of Democratic media consultants, but he’s in my top five. So I guess tiger or some other ferocious beast.
Also, Dems raise tons of money from trial attorneys so Axelrod’s legal representation makes sense.
