The running list of misdemeanors by fans gets a new addition after a fan, who entered the court premises was tackled to the ground by a guard. The spectator at the Capital One Arena made his way onto the court and attempted to touch the rim before he was brought down to the ground.
The incident occurred during the third quarter of Game 4 between Washington Wizards and Philadelphia 76ers. The fan was seen making his way down to the end of the court where the play was not occurring. Watch the incident right below:
An alert security guard took the culprit down just under the basket which forced the play to be halted.
