Continuing the series of NBA fans behaving badly, a fan was tackled as he attempted to run onto the court during Game 4 of the Wizards-76ers series in Washington.
The man, who was apprehended and banned from the arena, didn’t get far. He was tackled by the legs and then restrained by a security guard along the baseline with Washington up 80-74 late in the third quarter. Monumental Sports & Entertainment tweeted that charges are being pursued with DC MPD.
This is another example of an NBA fan acting out during the playoffs. A Celtics fan was also arrested after throwing a water bottle at Nets star Kyrie Irving on Sunday. Atlanta Hawks’ Trae Young was spat on at Madison Square Garden, and Wizards’ Russell Westbrook had popcorn dumped on him in Philadelphia.
Grizzlies guard Ja Morant’s parents said they were berated by Jazz fans with vulgar and racist remarks during their series, the New York Post reports.
All of the fans believed to be involved in these prior incidents have been banned indefinitely by the arenas in which they took place.
I don’t know if he’s dumber for running onto the court or for attending an NBA game?
The repeated fan incidents are becoming…fishy.
NBA fans are out of control
😂 😂 😂
And I don’t care
Yeah “stormed” . He didn’t get three steps.
I blame social media. Nobody wants to be the audience anymore, everyone wants to be the speaker. Nobody wants to be the fan in the stands, everyone wants to be a participant. People don’t know or don’t respect boundaries.
Not watching
What is this NBA? I thought it died with Kobe.
Oh, oh…the commentator said, trigger warning….Redskins!
Why wouldn’t a fan think it was alright to do that? You’ve got players doxing cops and encouraging fans to burn police stations down.
