Kyrie Irving said fans in NBA arenas are treating players "like they are in a human zoo" after a supporter was arrested for throwing a water bottle at the Brooklyn Nets guard on Sunday.
The bottle narrowly missed Irving as he left the court following the Nets' 141-126 win over the Boston Celtics.
It comes as five spectators were given indefinite bans after separate incidents last week.
Irving said the sport was now "at a crossroads".
Last week, the Washington Wizards point guard Russell Westbrook had to be restrained by security after a fan poured popcorn over him.
The Atlanta Hawks' Trae Young was spat on while three fans of the Utah Jazz were removed from the arena after heckling the family of the Memphis Grizzlies' Ja Morant.
Irving's Nets team-mate Kevin Durant said fans need to "grow up".
