I guess there was a no-call that resulted in a player having to leave due to a cut(?). I guess this player's third or fourth cousin didn't like it and came out onto the court to talk to the official getting ready to administer a free throw. He was sitting right behind their bench and stepped over the chairs and came onto the floor.

I hope this man learned a valuable lesson this evening in jail.

SportsCenter has shown this clip several times already, and I'm sure that it will be shown quite a few more.

Bizarre.

I did see the play right after the incident happen. And the play in question was not at all dirty or malicious in any way. It was clearly an unfortunate accident.

Wierd is right.

Peace

No, that's the wrong spelling.

BTW Espn is reporting that the guy who came out of the stands was the brother of the injured player.

Wow, you got me. How will I ever recover from such a spelling mistake where you type material?

Anybody notice that he traveled before the contact? Ends his dribble with right foot down and right foot returned to the floor.

Fabulous observation and a correct one.

Blue 21 does catch the offensive player in the head with his left forearm or elbow as he is raising his arms up to defend the shot attempt. It is the arm with the compression sleeve on it that makes the contact.

Yes, it looked that way.
