During Sunday's game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Houston Rockets, a Lakers fan named Anthony suffered an injury while attempting a half-court shot as part of a promotional contest. The fan, participating in a promotion with MGM Rewards, aimed to win $55,000.
Anthony's half-court shot was close, narrowly missing to the left of the rim. However, as he tried to decelerate and halt his momentum after the run-up, he fell to the ground, visibly experiencing pain in his lower leg. Struggling to get back up, Anthony was unable to make any further attempts in the contest. As of Monday afternoon, specific details about the fan, including his identity and the nature of his injury, remained undisclosed.
