Hawks fan injures the knee during the shooting challenge at NBA GAME

An Atlanta Hawks fan seemed to suffer a knee injury during a break when the team took on the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday night.

The tab participated in a tic-tac-toe shooting challenge, and as he went up to a lay-up, he slipped and crashed to the ground. He was seen held his left knee as his opponent continued the challenge on the other side of the court. A video showed that the tab was placed on a stretcher and led off the track.

Shamea Morton, hostess at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, had to get the second competitor to stop.

“Can you just wait? Can you just be kind and come over here with me and check James,” Morton asked. “We know you won, but ok.”

The incident was not an April Fools’ Day, according to the team’s website. An injury update on the fan was not immediately available.
