A Nets fan got tossed from Madison Square Garden. Breaking news? No, it sounds like something that probably happens often and vice-versa when Knicks visit Brooklyn at the Barclay, but this wasn’t just any ordinary kick out. This fan actually had one leg and security carried him out after he refused to leave on his own.
There are conflicting reports why he was thrown out but supposedly the story is that he took his prosthetic leg off and hit someone with it.
MSG staffer says that the Nets super fan that was kicked out without his prosthetic leg was ejected because he had hit somebody with it.

Yea, that sounds like a kick out worthy offense. Others nearby say they didn’t see him hit anyone with his leg.
@KennyDucey I was a few rows behind him. No one near saw him swing his leg at anyone. He was just being loud.

It’s hard to tell what really happened and who to believe but I would assume security wouldn’t just kick someone out without a definite cause especially someone handicapped.
Here is what the Knicks had to say.
