Beloved performer Red Panda falls from unicycle, taken off court in wheelchair during WNBA halftime show

Emmanuel Acho reacts to the growing concern around how the WNBA is handling Caitlin Clark. From intense physical play to mounting injuries, Acho questions whether the league is pushing her too far.

Red Panda, known for her incredible unicycle routine during halftime shows, left the Target Center floor in a wheelchair after falling during the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup final between the Indiana Fever and Minnesota Lynx on Tuesday night. 

Red Panda, whose real name is Rong "Krystal" Niu, fell from her 7-foot unicycle during the routine, and medical staff quickly rushed out to help. 

Niu appeared to have suffered a wrist injury and perhaps other parts of her body after falling forward onto the arena floor in Minnesota.

As Niu was wheeled off the hardwood, the second half of the game was delayed as arena staff had to repair a dent in the court. 

Niu has been performing under the Red Panda stage name since the 1990s, and she is well-known in the basketball realm as fans love seeing her routine, which also includes balancing bowls on her head while riding the unicycle.
