A Philadelphia fan dumped popcorn on an injured Russell Westbrook in the 76ers’ Game 2 win over the Wizards on Wednesday.
And that might not have been the worst fan behavior of the night.
In the Knicks’ Game 2 win over the Hawks, it appeared a New York fan might have spat on Trae Young.
Young retweeted the video, mostly laughing it off and noting 50 Cent sitting courtside (below the potential spitter):
Damn... Crazy ! @50cent y’all good?!

Young instantly became a villain in New York after hitting the-winner and shushing the crowd in Game 1. Mayor Bill de Blasio even bashed Young. There’s room to boo and jeer a rival player in good fun.
But fans spitting on players is obviously completely unacceptable. Anyone who does should receive a long-term ban.
