The Charlotte Hornets entertained their audience with a Christmas-themed on-court skit during Monday’s home loss against the 76ers. In the skit, mascot Hugo learned about the wishes of two children and delivered gifts accordingly. A 13-year-old named Jack received a Playstation 5, which was later taken back by the team as part of a setup for the final wish. The joke involved Hugo saving the day by producing a new father in a Hornets jersey to keep the family in Charlotte. However, in reality, Jack’s uncle Alexei Phillips received a Hornets jersey after the skit, and not the PS5. This heartwarming gesture was a fun surprise for the fans attending the game.
