Lebron James posted a near triple-double in the Cleveland Cavaliers big win over the Oklahoma City Thunder but in the process of the game, he injured a fan sitting courtside.
LeBron was making a hustle play to save the ball from going out-of-bounds and in the process, he crashed into the first row taking out an unsuspecting female fan.
It turned out that the female fan wasn’t just any normal NBA fan enjoying the game, it actually was the wife of PGA Tour golfer, Jason Day.
ESPN’s Brian Windhorst and Dave McMenamin have more information on the ordeal.
They are bringing a stretcher out to courtside to help the person who LeBron crashed into near center court.
