Suspended Wizards player Kelly Oubre Jr. is on Game 4 playoff ticket
Coincidence or...?
The Washington Wizards are getting seriously petty in Game 4 of their playoff series against the Boston Celtics, and it’s fantastic. The team’s backup forward, Kelly Oubre Jr., was suspended for the game after he shoved Celtics big man Kelly Olynyk to the ground in Game 3. Fans still got to see him on Sunday, though.

The tickets were likely printed out well in advance of Oubre’s suspension, but the chances the Wizards’ eighth-or-so man off the bench would be the face on the stub is strikingly coincidental.
Especially considering the team’s owner showed up to the arena like this.
