NBA getting involved in Gooden situation

The NBA is investigating the incident that occurred post-game Saturday night in Los Angeles during which Drew Gooden is accused of using a homophobic slur. A league spokesman said the situation is being reviewed, even as more details come out. A Mavericks' source said today that Gooden is not the person who made the remark after the game directed at Clippers fans who were seated near the Mavericks' bench during the game. The website Outsports.com posted the story Monday that an actor and his friend were the targets of the comment. Owner Mark Cuban has refused comment, although he did tell the website that he would deal with Gooden and this issue internally. Apparently, so will the NBA. --Eddie Sefko
