Boston Celtics guard Derrick White was involved in a fight with fans Saturday at the college football rivalry game between Colorado and Colorado State and NBA fans reacted to the footage.
TMZ Games released a video of the incident on Monday. The footage shows the fan swinging his arm at White and removing the hat from his head.
Afterwards, many fans got into a fight, but from the footage it seems that White did everything he could to stay out of it.
Law enforcement at Colorado State’s Canvas Stadium prevented the situation from continuing and White left without incident, TMZ report.
