The opening night of the 2021-22 season took place at the Staples Center between the LA Lakers and the Golden State Warriors. Thus Hollywood made sure to be in good attendance. Celebrities such as Adele, Jack Nicholson, Floyd Mayweather, and Kevin Hart were seated frontcourt.
Unfortunately, the LA Lakers would lose to the Warriors 121-114. However, one of the highlights of the game was involving rapper Kid Cudi. The American rapper was seated at the front row wearing a turquoise Space Jam Tune Squad jersey.
During the third quarter of the game, an instance involved two-time MVP Stephen Curry slipping and falling on the hardwood due to a spilled drink. Luckily for the Warriors fan, the scary fall didn’t result in a mishap.
As Cudi was a close witness to Curry’s fall, the internet didn’t leave a second to blame the rapper for the accident, which they thought was on purpose. Social media went into overdrive, accusing the rapper of intentionally spilling the drink. However, Cudi would later rubbish all the accusations.

The Dub Nation had their heartbeats stopped momentarily when Steph Curry went down on the floor during the third quarter of the match against the Lakers. Fortunately, the fall was nothing serious but a small bruise on the knee.
However, social media was quick to come up with their theories. The internet was buzzing with the news of Kid Cudi almost trying to twist Curry’s ankle via the spilled drink.
