A fan at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia on Wednesday night dumped popcorn on Washington Wizards star Russell Westbrook s head as he was walking back to the locker room to tend to an injury during Game 2 of the team’s matchup with the 76ers.
Westbrook was already dealing with an ankle injury earlier in the game when he was guarding Ben Simmons and hit the deck for a few moments. Later, in the fourth quarter, Westbrook would collide with Furkan Korkmaz. He limped off the floor and headed back into the locker room.
Donovan Mitchell scored 25 points in his much-anticipated return from a sprained ankle and the Utah Jazz overcame Ja Morant's franchise-record 47 points in a 141-129 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night, tying the first-round playoff series at a game apiece.
