An Atlanta Hawks fan thought he had a great stroke of luck on Tuesday, but the opposite turned out to be the case.
Two Hawks fan were chosen to compete in a Tic Tac Toe layup competition during halftime of the team’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Ga. As one of the fans went up to attempt his first layup, he slipped on the floor and fell to the ground. The fan was then grabbing his left knee.

That’s every fan’s worst nightmare. You think you’re getting an opportunity to do something cool, and you end up on a stretcher with a likely knee injury. It’s not fun getting old.
