Celtics fan throws water bottle at Kyrie Irving after Game 4 originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago
Boos are one thing, chants are another, but what happened at the end of Boston Celtics-Brooklyn Nets Game 4 was unacceptable.
After helping the Nets to a 141-126 victory, Kyrie Irving had a water bottle tossed at him by a fan at TD Garden on his way down the tunnel.
Watch the incident below:
The fan was promptly identified and arrested by TD Garden security.
It’s the latest of multiple incidents in the NBA involving inappropriate fan conduct. During Washington Wizards-Philadelphia 76ers Game 2, a Philly fan dumped popcorn on Russell Westbrook’s head as he exited the court with an injury. A Utah Jazz fan made lewd, racist comments toward Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant’s parents during Game 2 of their series.
Sunday night marked TD Garden’s first game at full capacity since 2020.
