Fan Injury at Hawks Game Goes Viral

During a recent Atlanta Hawks game against the Portland Trail Blazers, a fan suffered a knee injury while participating in a tic-tac-toe-themed layup contest during a timeout. The fan, identified as James, slipped and fell, prompting immediate attention from medical staff, who eventually took him off the court on a stretcher. The incident, initially suspected by some to be an April Fool's prank, was confirmed as a genuine injury, though the exact nature of the injury remains unreported. The other contestant continued the game unaware of the situation until the in-game host, Shamea Morton, intervened. The video of the incident quickly went viral, prompting mixed reactions online, with some expressing concern while others made light of the situation. Despite the incident, the game continued, and the Hawks ultimately lost 127-113.
