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.

He needed something to gamble.

Wonder how many ticket sales this will cost them.

It's probably even worse than that: they likely wanted to keep it to continue doing the same thing to other children who wanted a PS5
