ATLANTA — An Atlanta Hawks fan injured his knee during a timeout game at State Farm Arena on Tuesday.
Two contestants were selected to participate in a Tic-Tac-Toe game where they have to make a layup in order to place an X or O on the board.
During their first attempts, one of the fans slipped and awkwardly fell on his left leg. He quickly grabbed his left knee as medics — and even Atlanta mascot Harry the Hawk — rushed over to his side.

The other contestant appeared to be unaware of what happened to his opponent until the Hawks in-game host Shamea Morton called him over.
The Hawks broadcast showed the fan being taken off the court by a stretcher and the Hawks bench and crowd giving him a round of applause. There’s no word yet on his exact injury.
