LeBron James took a sip of wine from a fan's glass during the Philadelphia 76ers' 126-107 home win over the Chicago Bulls on Monday night. The 41-year-old was chasing a loose ball at the baseline when he ended up in the crowd and collided with Sixers supporter Troy Clemons, spilling his drink in the process.

James took the glass from Clemons, drank from it, and handed it back before returning to the court. He finished the game with 15 points, nine assists and seven rebounds as Philadelphia improved to 7-1.

When asked about the exchange after the game, James explained his reasoning. 'I spilled some of his wine. I crashed into him, spilled some of his wine. So I wanted to see if it was worth it on my arm and how good it was. It was all right,' he said. Clemons, speaking to ESPN, expressed no anger at the incident. 'I'm just glad for him to be here. I'm not worried about the wine getting on me,' he said.
