It didn’t appear Young was affected by the liquid, but he did react after the game, making a playful jab at rapper 50 Cent who was sitting courtside.

"Damn... Crazy," Young tweeted. "@50Cent y’all good?!"

Some fans pointed to the fact that most were upset about Washington Wizards star Russell Westbrook’s issue with fans in Philadelphia while Young’s incident was getting overlooked. Westbrook had popcorn dumped on him when he was heading back to the locker room to tend to an injury.
