Watch: Spurs mascot captures flying bat
The San Antonio Spurs mascot played hero and captured a bat that caused the team’s game to be temporarily delayed.
Earlier in the week, the Spurs’ game against the Brooklyn Nets was temporarily delayed due to a bat invasion. On Saturday, another bat appeared, this time during the game between the Spurs and New Orleans Pelicans.
Early in the first quarter, the creature made its way around the arena. While flying near the court, the bat was corralled by the Spurs mascot, who caught it when a giant net.

If this is going to be a regular occurrence, perhaps the Spurs can take advantage of it. Here’s one suggestion.
The #Spurs should have a halftime fan bat-chasing competition. Solves two things at once.

The Spurs might need to bring Manu Ginobili back just to serve as the bat regulator.
