SAN ANTONIO -- A fan ran onto the Frost Bank Center court during the fourth quarter of Wednesday night's NBA Finals and attempted to take a selfie next to San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama, halting play before the New York Knicks' 105-95 Game 1 victory.
The incident occurred with 6:28 remaining and New York holding a 92-86 lead. The male fan ran onto the court with a cell phone in his right hand, stopped in front of Wembanyama and Knicks center Mitchell Robinson near the 3-point line and then quickly got pushed away by two security guards as he attempted to take the picture.
Replays showed Wembanyama looking confused and smiling in the direction of the phone.
