[Saba Sports News] A Los Angeles Lakers fan named Anthony became a viral sensation after injuring his leg during a halfcourt shot attempt for a $55,000 prize in an MGM Grand promotion.
The incident occurred at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles during the Lakers vs. Houston Rockets game. Anthony’s shot, which required significant effort, resulted in a tweak in his lower left leg, causing him to stumble and eventually lay on his back, clutching his leg.
Despite his injury, he was appreciated for his spirited attempt and distinctive Lakers socks. Unfortunately, he couldn’t take a consolation three-point shot due to the injury. Despite missing out on the prize, Anthony witnessed a close Lakers game, culminating in LeBron James’ winning free throw for a 105-104 victory.
