The Charlotte Hornets faced backlash after a poorly executed skit during a game, where a child was initially gifted a PlayStation 5, only to have it taken away off-camera. Following the incident, the organization issued an apology and promised to rectify the situation by providing the child with the PS5 and a VIP experience at a future game.
The skit, which involved the team's mascot and a cheerleader, confused attendees and left the young fan disappointed. Despite the controversy, the Hornets aim to enhance the guest experience at Spectrum Center.
On the court, the Hornets suffered a loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, bringing their record to 7-19.
