As the game was winding down, fans in the arena were alarmed when the man, sitting in the stands, suddenly collapsed. A swift and immediate response from the arena’s medical team was crucial. Paramedics rushed to the scene and began administering CPR, working quickly to stabilize the fan before he was carried off the court.
The man was rushed to a nearby hospital for further medical care, though details about his condition or identity have not been released.
