Fan Storms NBA Finals Court for Wembanyama Selfie, Detained as Knicks Win Game 1 105-95

Summary

  • A fan ran onto the court midway through the fourth quarter of Game 1 in San Antonio, apparently trying to take a selfie next to Victor Wembanyama before security detained him.
  • Two guards quickly removed the spectator without apparent contact with Wembanyama or any Knicks players, and play was halted for about a minute before resuming with a jump ball.
  • New York closed out a 105-95 victory despite two injury scares for Jalen Brunson, who briefly went to the locker room, returned with his knee wrapped and later stayed in after tweaking an ankle.
  • Brunson scored 30 points to lead the Knicks, whose Game 1 win pushed their playoff streak to 12 straight as they chase a first NBA title since 1973.
