Wizards’ Corey Kispert caught making gross move during career-night
Washington Wizards forward Corey Kispert had a Saturday night filled with highlights, and one pretty gross lowlight.
The Wizards beat the Memphis Grizzlies 113-106 at FedExForum in Memphis, Tenn for their first win of the season.
Kispert played a big part in the win. He tallied 22 points on 8-of-12 shooting to go along with 5 threes in just the first half. The points and field goals were both career highs for Kispert in a single half.

The Wizards wing understandably got some added attention from the Monumental Sports Network broadcast. Unfortunately, they flashed the camera on him at the wrong time late in the second quarter. The third-year player was caught picking his nose and then seemingly biting at whatever he had just picked.

Perhaps the hygiene gods cursed Kispert for the rest of the game after his gross move. The Gonzaga alum failed to score in the second half and only took two shot attempts in the final two quarters.
Kispert may have made a disgusting misstep on live television, but his Wizards teammate Jordan Poole still arguably had the more embarrassing gaffe of the game.
