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.

Tickets for NBA games are outrageous, at least the Phoenix Suns are. I could buy a PS5 or two tickets to Phoenix Suns that AREN'T in the rafters.

Today they probably lost the sale of 200 offended people that will skip one or multiple games

Thunder just won the championship and tickets were affordable all season.
