The incident happened during the Hornets' loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Charlotte Hornets issued an apology for an incident involving a young fan during Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
The fan was brought onto the court and gifted a PlayStation 5 in a Christmas-related giveaway featuring Hugo the Hornet.
A social media post was later posted claiming that the video game console was taken away shortly after and the fan received only a Hornets t-shirt.
Hundreds of people voiced displeasure at the Hornets about the incident online.
