Scottie Barnes, a star for the Toronto Raptors of the National Basketball Association (NBA), found himself in an unexpectedly awkward situation during his pre-game warm-up.
U.S. sports outlet "ClutchPoints" reported on the 15th (Korean time) that "Barnes became the center of unexpected attention due to an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction that occurred during his pre-game warm-up."
The incident took place during the warm-up ahead of the preseason game between Toronto and the New York Knicks held on the 14th.
While warming up before the game, Barnes attempted a flashy 360-degree dunk.
However, an unexpected event occurred. At the moment he jumped, his loose training pants slid down.
The moment intended to showcase a beautiful dunk instantly turned into an awkward scene. Fortunately, he was wearing uniform shorts underneath his training pants, which prevented a more serious incident.
Coincidentally, the scene was captured on camera, and the photo quickly spread through social media.
Barnes did not shy away from his own embarrassing moment. Instead, he laughed it off himself.
As the photo gained attention, Barnes left a joke on his SNS saying, "Why me? These damn pants." He even posted the related photo.
ClutchPoints explained, "Barnes showed that he could laugh off his own embarrassing photo," adding, "This once again revealed Barnes' personality, who has always delighted Toronto fans with his cheerful behavior even off the court."
Fortunately, the mishap during the warm-up had no impact whatsoever on his actual game performance.
Barnes played an active role against New York that day, recording 19 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block in just 22 minutes of play. Toronto also defeated New York by a massive margin of 50 points, winning 148-98.
The good momentum continued. In another preseason game against New York held on the 16th, Toronto narrowly lost 120-122. However, Barnes once again showed strong performance, playing 28 minutes and scoring 23 points, including four three-pointers.
