SAN ANTONIO — It’s uncommon for Jalen Brunson to be so visibly upset. 

There was a motive for it. And the league has gotten concerned. 

The NBA is investigating two followers who allegedly made profane feedback toward Brunson, The Post confirmed, at the finish of the Knicks’ 105-95 Game 1 win over the Spurs Wednesday night time at Frost Bank Arena.

As OG Anunoby shot free throws with just 20.6 seconds left in the recreation, Brunson could be seen speaking with followers close to the sideline. After the recreation, Brunson spoke with referee Scott Foster close to the sideline and motioned toward the crowd.

He exchanged a few more phrases with the followers before Jose Alvarado and other Knicks teammates pulled him away. 

A day later, he had no curiosity in revisiting it. 

“I’m all good about talking about that,” Brunson said on Thursday when requested if something was said that crossed the line. “All good.”

Video that went viral on social media speculated that a girl sitting courtside was the offender who Brunson had the alternate with. But that is not who the league believes was concerned and is investigating, according to The Post’s Stefan Bondy. They are instead investigating a man and one other particular person. 

“I didn’t even see what happened,” Josh Hart said on Thursday. “I heard something about it. I didn’t really see it. I don’t know. He’s always pretty calm, pretty composed. I’m sure the fans probably said something crazy to kind of get him going. I wish I could answer that a little bit better, but I didn’t see the interaction.”
