Kevin Durant felt badly after his errant pass flew into the stands and hit a female spectator in the face during the Wednesday’s Thunder-Clippers game in Oklahoma City. He was worried that he had injured someone.
The Thunder’s All-Star forward showed his concern by immediately walking over to the elderly woman, who was sitting courtside, and giving her a kiss on the forehead. She broke into a big smile, so everything was OK.
With the woman so close to the action, it was inevitable that the ball would find her again, and it did about five minutes later in the third period. This time, it was just a deflection by the Clippers’ Jamal Crawford, so there was no real threat of injury.
Crawford eschewed the kiss and merely asked if the woman was OK. The Thunder’s Thabo Sefolosha also showed his concern. Sefolosha also checked on the fan after Durant's pass; in fact, Sefolosha was indirectly responsible for that one, because he ducked as the ball was coming to him.
