According to <strong>ESPN\u2019s Kris Rhim<\/strong>, the season-ticket holder \u2014 identified as <strong>Troy Clemens <\/strong>\u2014 offered LeBron some of his wine during the game.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">Stadium cameras captured the scene, which quickly went viral on social media and sparked speculation about whether the <strong>NBA <\/strong>might take disciplinary action.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ue-c-article__embedded\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet-lazy\" data-lang=\"es\"><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">Will LeBron James be fined for drinking wine during the game?<\/h2>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">This is not the first time LeBron has had an unusual interaction with fans during a game. In <strong>2017<\/strong>, during the <strong>Cleveland Cavaliers\u2019 playoff <\/strong>series against the <strong>Toronto Raptors<\/strong>, he playfully pretended to drink a beer courtside. The league took no action against him.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">Nor would it be the first time a 76ers player has been involved in a similar situation. In <strong>2019<\/strong>, then-Philadelphia forward<strong> Mike Scott<\/strong> went viral when he drank from a fan\u2019s cup during a game against the<strong> Milwaukee Bucks<\/strong>. Scott jumped into the stands, took the cup, sipped from it, and returned to the court. The NBA reviewed the incident but decided against a fine, and the 76ers imposed no internal discipline either.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">While the league may review LeBron\u2019s interaction with the fan<strong>, it appears unlikely that the 41-year-old will receive a financial penalty for a moment that quickly became one of the most talked-about highlights of the night.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr class=\"taboola-art-mid-script\" data-ue-is-premium=\"false\" data-ue-is-basic=\"true\" data-ue-is-mobile=\"false\">\n<div class=\"ue-c-article__tags-container\">\n<ul class=\"ue-c-article__tags\" aria-label=\"Etiquetado como:\">\n<li class=\"ue-c-article__tags-item\">Lebron James<\/li>\n<li class=\"ue-c-article__tags-item\">Philadelphia 76ers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ue-c-article__related-news \" aria-label=\"Art\u00edculos relacionados\">\n<div class=\"ue-c-article__related-news-item\"><span class=\"ue-c-article__related-news-kicker\">Philadelphia 76ers <\/span>Where to watch Philadelphia 76ers vs Chicago Bulls and what time does this Monday&#8217;s game start?<\/div>\n<div class=\"ue-c-article__related-news-item\"><span class=\"ue-c-article__related-news-kicker\">Philadelphia 76ers <\/span>LeBron James almost lost $100,000 when MrBeast cornered him: \u201cI\u2019m no Steph Curry\u201d<\/div>\n<div class=\"ue-c-article__related-news-item\"><span class=\"ue-c-article__related-news-kicker\">Philadelphia 76ers <\/span>76ers rule out LeBron James, Joel Embiid for road matchup vs. Hornets<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ue-c-popular-links js-featured-links ue-c-popular-links--closed\">\n<ul class=\"list ue-c-popular-links__list hidden-content\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<li class=\"ue-c-popular-links__list-item \">NBA<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"ue-l-article__secondary-column\">\n<div class=\"ue-l-article__secondary-column-item\">\n<div class=\"ue-c-ad ue-c-ad--label\" role=\"region\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"ue-c-ad__inner\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-basketball_nba_philadelphia-76ers_n_b300x100_733821aea78b9d532812fa3c\" class=\"publicidad ue-autorefresh-bind\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ue-l-article__secondary-column-item ue-l-article--grow\">\n<div class=\"ue-c-ad ue-c-ad--label ue-c-ad--sticky\" role=\"region\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"ue-c-ad__inner\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-basketball_nba_philadelphia-76ers_n_r_733821aea78b9d532812fa3c\" class=\"publicidad ue-autorefresh-bind\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ue-l-article__secondary-column-item ue-l-article--grow js-notice-sticky\">\n<div class=\"ue-c-ad ue-c-ad--label ue-c-ad--sticky\" role=\"region\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"ue-c-ad__inner\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-basketball_nba_philadelphia-76ers_n_rb_733821aea78b9d532812fa3c\" class=\"publicidad ue-autorefresh-bind\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.marca.com\/en\/basketball\/nba\/philadelphia-76ers\/2026\/11\/03\/sip-of-controversy-lebron-james-risks-nba-penalty-after-drinking-fan-s-beverage-mid-game.html&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/e00-xlk-ue-marca-en.uecdn.es\/files\/article_main_microformat\/uploads\/2026\/11\/03\/6ae95c1fb4541.jpeg&#8221;] Philadelphia 76ers Sip of controversy: LeBron James risks NBA penalty after drinking fan\u2019s beverage mid-game Now the NBA could decide whether the viral wine sip deserves a punishment.
