Report - Heat mascot sent to ER after bit with Conor McGregor - ESPN
The old saying goes that it's all fun and games until someone gets hurt.
That's exactly what happened to the man who plays Miami Heat mascot Burnie, as he had to go to the emergency room Friday night after twice getting punched by UFC star Conor McGregor during an on-court bit during Game 4 of the NBA Finals, according to a report.
The man who plays Burnie, according to The Athletic, received pain medication, was sent home and is doing well.
