Conor McGregor, the former UFC champion, made headlines at the NBA Finals on Friday night when he punched the Miami Heat mascot, Burnie, during a halftime show.
The incident occurred during a promotional event for a pain relief spray. McGregor was supposed to playfully punch Burnie, but he ended up hitting him too hard. Burnie fell to the ground and was taken to the hospital, but he was later released.
McGregor apologized for the incident on Twitter, saying that he "got carried away." He also said that he was "glad" that Burnie was okay.
The incident has sparked a debate about whether McGregor should be banned from attending NBA games. Some fans believe that he should be punished for his actions, while others believe that it was just a harmless prank.
The NBA has not yet commented on the incident.
Conor McGregor's NBA Future
It remains to be seen whether McGregor will be banned from attending NBA games in the future. However, the incident has certainly raised questions about his behavior.
McGregor is known for his outspoken and controversial personality. He has been involved in several high-profile incidents, including a brawl with a bus full of UFC fighters in 2018.
It is possible that the NBA will decide that McGregor's behavior is not welcome at their games. However, it is also possible that they will give him a second chance.
Only time will tell what the future holds for Conor McGregor and the NBA.
