Spurs-Grizzlies Game Delayed For A Medical Emergency as a Fan Collapses Just Before Tipoff!

This article was last updated by on

The NBA game between the San Antonio Spurs and Memphis Grizzlies was delayed Monday night after a fan collapsed courtside.

The incident occurred just before the scheduled tipoff at 7 p.m.CT on Monday, Feb 3, 2025.

Mike Miller, a sports agent, was sitting near the fan when he collapsed during the game.

He noticed something was wrong and immediately called for authorities to provide medical assistance.

Emergency medical responders quickly attended to the fan on the court and administered CPR.

During that time, the Grizzlies players huddled together and said a prayer for the fans.

Then, they took him away on a stretcher to a nearby hospital after around seven minutes for further treatment.

Both teams were returned to their locker rooms while the situation was handled. The game eventually started around 7:50 p.m. CT after a roughly 45-50 minute delay.

After the incident, Miller expressed his concern, saying,

It was awful. He was sitting talking to people, then the national anthem happened, and he didn’t get up.

Fan’s Identity Remains Anonymous, And His Health Status Is Still Under Wraps!

Medical emergencies involving spectators at sporting events are not uncommon.

There have been several instances in the past where fans have suffered cardiac arrests or other medical issues during games.

A similar incident happened on Monday night where a fan collapsed courtside and needed emergency medical treatment.

The fan was quickly attended to by emergency responders, who administered CPR at courtside.

However, his identity has not been publicly revealed in the news report. It appears that the fan suffered a heart attack.

As of the latest reports, there hasn’t been any update on his condition. It’s definitely a relief that he received immediate medical attention, and hopefully, he’s recovering well.

Meanwhile, many people are questioning his health status on social media.

A Twitter user with the name handle @Youknowhattimeitis showed concern for the fan and tweeted:

Do you know if he is alive? Broadcast not saying much.

Twitter

Some news reports and social media posts claim that the fan who collapsed during the Spurs-Grizzlies game has passed away.

At the same time, others are sending prayers for his speedy recovery.

However, we cannot make any definitive statements due to the lack of official confirmation about his status.

Not all news on social media is accurate, so we must wait for an official report from the respective parties regarding his condition.

Until then, we extend our prayers for his recovery and urge everyone to refrain from speculating until more information is released.
