SCREENGRAB from Casspi’s Instagram post
When the Sacramento Kings and Washington Wizards squared off on Monday, Paul Pierce and Omri Casspi got into a situation that young fans don’t like.
Pierce attempted a three-pointer with 4:07 remaining in the second quarter, and Sacramento up 45-40, but the flying-by Casspi palmed his head and the Wizards veteran forward to not take things lightly.
A few seconds later, Casspi was running the break when Pierce pushed him mid-jump.
Casspi then accidentally hit a little girl during his fall.
Needless to say, the girl cried.
Fast forward to Wednesday, Casspi sought the little girl and gave her an Elsa doll as an apology.
Casspi posted the incident on his Instagram account.
“Had to make sure she’s not mad at me after I crashed at her during the game… and what’s a better gift than princess Elsa and Ulaf (sic) from #Frozen,” Casspi posted.
Of course, Elsa is not a princess but the queen of Arendelle and the happy snow man is Olaf, but hey Mr. Casspi made an extremely nice gesture.
Your turn Mr. Pierce, and to you little girl, don’t cry and just let it go.
