The Toronto Raptors' Brandon Ingram went viral for all the wrong reasons this past week.
In a 130-120 loss on the road to the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday, TSN cameras caught Ingram on the team's bench tossing a water bottle straight into the floor, which bounced up into an arena employee's face.
Making matters look worse was the fact that the bottle also opened up, causing a delay while staff cleaned up the water on the court.
Ingram didn't appear to have much immediate remorse for the bottle toss, as he seemed to just stay in place in his seat on the bench.
While I apologized a bunch of times to the kid that got hit in the face with the water bottle, it wasn't my intention at all.
