Fan Runs on Court, Gets Tackled as Wizards Host 76ers

A fan was ejected from Capital One Arena in Washington on Monday night after running onto the floor as the Wizards hosted the 76ers in the Eastern Conference playoffs.

The unidentified spectator ran onto the floor in the third quarter as the Wizards dribbled the ball up the floor. He ran toward the baseline and slapped the backboard before being taken down in a textbook tackle by an arena security guard.

"During this evening's game, a fan was apprehended by Capital One Arena Special Police after attempting to breach the court," Monumental Sports & Entertainment tweeted Monday.
