The game between the Miami Heat and the Denver Nuggets was not the only source of drama at the Kaseya Center today. Pressure had skyrocketed for the Heat fans as Jimmy Butler and Co. suffered a double-digit deficit in Game 4. Nikola Jokic dominating again was not a concern for many in the arena as the attention was suddenly shifted toward a senior Heat fan. Stretchers were brought out while the game was on a break following a timeout.

While many continue to call it a medical emergency, Twitter fans seem to have a different narrative. Anyhow, the crowd, which was electric initially, was silenced with a masterful performance by the Nuggets, who now find themselves 1 win away from glory.

An old woman who was on the courtside left the arena on a stretcher after she felt unwell. A timeout in the third quarter was taken advantage of by the staff to pull the fan out of the arena for a medical emergency as the players and staff watched on. Denver Post’s Mike Singer tweeted, “No idea what’s going on, but she doesn’t look like she’s in good shape.

A commentator showed their displeasure as the national TV broadcast the incident for the world to witness, and noted, “They really didn’t need to show that poor woman being stretchered off.” The videos of the scenes were going viral when the fans decided to share their perspective. 

What is the unpleasant reaction from the fans?

Several Twitter users believe the old woman got wasted and she was too drunk to move. Though a few felt pity for her, many believed it was the alcohol.

While the real reason behind the emergency stands as a mystery, here are some of the fans’ reactions to what they think about it. One fan tweeted, “Umm are they escorting a woman out of the arena on a stretcher for being wasted? Cause that’s how it looks.”

Some fans wished for a speedy recovery as well.
