Rapper Travis Scott may be on a basketball high this season after his drink was spilled on the court during the New York Knicks' 121-102 victory over the Brooklyn Nets.
With 9:40 left in the fourth quarter, Knicks guard Immanuel Quickley lost control of the ball before it flew out of bounds and hit Scott in the hand holding his drink. Quickley contributed 19 points to the win.
The drink then spilled all over the arena floor where Scott was sitting courtside, resulting in a slight delay when cleaning staff arrived to clean it up.
“Oh, wow, that's a Guiser,” Nets commentator Ian Eagle exclaimed as he watched a replay of the spill. “Look, I don't know if I've seen a celebrity spill (a drink) like that.”
Scott then proceeded to open another can of whatever he was drinking before arena employees had even finished cleaning up the original spill.
