Watch: Marine chugs beer at Lakers game in most epic way possible
At 7-12 , Los Angeles Lakers fans haven't had much to cheer about this season. One U.S. Marine Corps veteran changed that Monday night while the Lakers and Indiana Pacers were in a timeout.
The "Fan of the Game" honor earned Hutsler a $100 gift card.
According to a TMZ Sports report, Hutsler enlisted in the Marine Corps in 2017 and "decided to have her leg amputated in 2019 after several attempts to have a tumor removed from her foot." In addition to acting and modeling, Hutsler has also started competing in wheelchair races.
She won silver medals in the 100-meter and 200-meter wheelchair races at the U.S. Department of Defense Warrior Games, according to the report.
The legendary Jumbotron moment aside, it was another rough night for LeBron James and the Lakers. Los Angeles blew a 17-point lead against the Pacers, which was capped by a game-winning, buzzer-beating three-pointer by rookie Andrew Nembhard.
The Lakers will be back at home when they face the Portland Trail Blazers at 10:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday. Following that contest, they'll begin a six-game road trip against Eastern Conference teams at 7:30 p.m. ET against the Milwaukee Bucks.
