Lakers Fan Injures Himself During Half Court Shot

Frequently in NBA games, home teams engage with fans through half-court shooting contests during halftime breaks and timeouts, and the Los Angeles Lakers are no different. However, an unfortunate incident occurred on Sunday night during a side event at the Los Angeles Lakers' home game against the Houston Rockets.

A fan had the chance to win $55,000 by making a half-court shot, but unfortunately, he missed the shot and ended up injuring his Achilles tendon.

Content creator King Charge, after sharing the complete clip of the now-infamous half-court attempt on X, expressed disbelief at the unfortunate injury, saying:





Lakers May Have Found a New Star Player

This incident quickly went viral and truly demonstrated the ruthlessness of some NBA fans, with one post stating,



Fans Are Tag-Teaming to Diss This Poor Guy

One fan was quick to point out that this viral moment "blew up", while another fan wittily replied,



A Trifecta of Injuries

One fan theorized that the unfortunate fan may have injured a lot more than just his Achilles.


While the situation itself was quite amusing, let's hope that this unlucky Lakers fan recovers, and for their sake, never touches a basketball again.
