During Saturday night’s game, Toronto Raptors player Brandon Ingram unintentionally struck a team employee in the face with his water bottle after slamming it down in anger.
Cameras from the TSN broadcast captured Ingram returning to the bench. Upon sitting, he forcefully threw his water bottle to the ground, causing it to ricochet and hit a staff member in the face.

The game was briefly halted while personnel cleaned up the spilled water. Ingram remained on the bench, observing as the staffers, including the one he’d hit, cleared the area.
It’s uncertain if Ingram issued an apology for his reaction.
In 37 minutes of play, he scored 21 points and grabbed eight rebounds as the 76ers defeated the Raptors, 130-120.
