CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) -- A Monday Hornets game turned into an extra exciting experience for one boy, then a confusing one, when the team gifted him a PS5 on the court, only for the coveted game console to be taken back and switched for a jersey.
Now, the Charlotte Hornets are looking to make it right following the perplexing encounter.
The boy's family tells Queen City News they were welcomed onto the court during the game against the Sixers and presented with a PS5 in front of everyone inside the stadium. Once the presentation was over, they said employees took the PS5 away and gave him a jersey instead.
Video of the presentation started circulating on social media with calls for gifting the boy a PS5.
The Hornets organization issued a statement to Queen City News on Tuesday:
During last night’s game there was an on-court skit that missed the mark. The skit included bad decision making and poor communication.
Simply put, we turned the ball over and we apologize. We have reached out to the family and are committed to not only making it right but to exceeding expectations.
We will be providing the fan with the PS5 that he should have taken home last night along with a VIP experience to a future game.
Our goal is and will remain to elevate the guest experience for every person that enters Spectrum Center, and to show our fans how much we appreciate their relentless support.
