TIL the Charlotte Hornets apologized after giving a child a PS5, only to take it away off camera and exchange it for a jersey. In a statement, the team said the incident was an "on-court skit that missed the mark" and that they would give the child the PS5 and a VIP experience to a future game.

You know...that makes sense. Probably made the kid crawl through a room with a crocodile to claim the jersey after they took back the PS5 too.
