The NBA has amassed a worldwide fanbase of dedicated basketball fans over the years. The NBA is one of the most illustrious professional sports leagues in the world. 30 franchises, 29 of which are in the US and one in Canada, form a part of the NBA. Recently, photos revealed Suga, a BTS member attending an NBA game.

Various famous celebrities attend high profile NBA games, and Suga was one such celebrity audience member. Min Yoon-gi, who also goes by his popular nicknames ‘Suga’ and ‘Agust D’, was spotted at the Clippers vs Pistons game last night. Suga is a rapper, songwriter, and record producer, and a member of the BTS, a famous South Korean pop band. BTS is also known as the Bangtan Boys and was formed as a boy band in 2010.

After reports popped up about Suga being in the audience, no one was able to identify the BTS star. Later, a BTS fan, ‘Btsshoes‘, somehow managed to spot the BTS star despite him doing his best to stay low-key.

A writer for ‘Sports Illustrated’ detailed Suga’s stylish outfit that he wore during the game. He was reported to be wearing a North Face jacket, wore a beanie and mask. So that helped the fan to identify him, despite Suga’s best attempts to stay incredibly low profile. Only Clippers’ staff were reportedly aware of the superstar celebrity’s attendance at the game.

He was in a North Face jacket, wore a beanie and mask. Don't think I saw anyone recognize him. The only people that knew it was him were Clippers staff, because they knew hours before tipoff that he was coming. Very surreal to see a Superstar in public without being bothered.
