There was an ugly moment during the fourth quarter of Wednesday’s Game 2 between the Washington Wizards and Philadelphia 76ers when a Sixers fan was ejected after throwing popcorn on Wizards guard Russell Westbrook.
Westbook was seen limping to the locker room after suffering an ankle injury when popcorn was thrown on him from above the tunnel. Westbrook had to be restrained from going after the fan by security guards and Wizards staff.
