A fan dumped popcorn on Washington Wizards star Russell Westbrook’s head in Philadelphia Wednesday night as he left the court with an injured ankle near the end of the 76ers’ 120-95 win in Game 2 of their first-round playoff.

A furious Westbrook had to be held back and the fan was ejected. Westbrook said later, “[T]his s*** is getting out of hand . . . The amount of disrespect, the amount of fans just doing whatever the f*** they want to do . . . In these arenas, you got to start protecting the players. We’ll see what the NBA does.”
