You forget, Adam Smith was Laissez Faire, but he ALSO wrote “The Theory of Moral Sentiments.” He stated that you cannot separate capitalism from morality. And it is equally wrong, morally, to ban the former Los Angeles McDonald's franchise owner who was found out to be racist from coming in and buying a Big Mac in Chicago.

Why is it morally wrong for a private business to ban someone who violates its agreements from entering its facility?

Is it morally wrong to ban someone from entering a restaurant if they are wearing no shirt and shoes?

Besides the whole “race, creed, gender, orientation” thing, if you violate the rules you can be banned from private property. Which both an NBA franchise is, as is a McDonalds in Chicago.
