Floor seat ticket holders play huge amounts of money to see games up close and to even possibly have some interaction with players. Such was the case during Tuesday's game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Washington Wizards inside Staples Center as a young fan had a close encounter with D'Angelo Russell.
With 9:14 left in the second quarter, the 20-year-old Ohio State product tried to save the ball from going out of bounds. However, not only did he fail to do so, he also fell on a young girl sitting courtside. She looked so scared after seeing the 6-foot-3 guard going towards the ball and her, that he had to console her after to make sure she's alright and didn't get hurt.

Fortunately, the girl is fine and even nodded her head when an usher checked on her. It also goes to show a softer side of Russell as he took a few seconds first before running back to the other side of the court.
