Fan sprints onto court to take selfie with Victor Wembanyama during 4th quarter of NBA Finals Game 1

1 hour ago 4

Game 1 of the NBA Finals between the Knicks and the Spurs proved an eye-catching sight. There was nary a moment of reprieve, especially not in the fourth quarter as both sides traded the lead.

With 6:29 left in regulation, though, the action stopped. The reason for the freeze? A fan who traipsed onto the floor in the hopes of securing a photo with towering French supernova Victor Wembanyama.

Here's what you need to know about the situation.

Fan sprints onto floor to take selfie with Victor Wembanyama

Wembanyama was greeted — against his best wishes — by a fan who evaded security in the hopes of snapping a photo with him. The fan reached the 7-4 supernova, only to be whisked away by security as soon as he reached his place on the court.

Predictably, the incident resulted in a brief delay to the action. Interestingly, the fan featured fairly prominently on the broadcast — an unusual sight for a streaker.
