The Philadelphia 76ers fan who flipped off Russell Westbrook on Wednesday night, with both hands, during the Sixers' season opener vs. the Thunder has been identified. He's a doctor, and he's sorry.

From Philly.com comes the fan's identity as urologist Richard Harkaway. From Philly.com:

Harkaway's identity was first reported by Crossing Broad. Perhaps not surprisingly, his practice - Urological Consultants of Southeastern Pennsylvania - took quite a few phone calls on Thursday that had nothing to do with medical matters.
