A Cal basketball player confronted a fan who was allegedly calling him a "terrorist" during the Golden Bears’ game against UTEP on Monday. 

Fardaws Aimaq, a 6-foot-11 center, was caught on video walking up the bleachers at The Pavilion in San Juan Capistrano, California, to get in a fan’s face. Aimaq’s agent, Daniel Poneman, reposted the video on X, showing his client pointing in the fan’s face.
