ESPN broadcaster Stephen A. Smith was reportedly caught playing solitaire on his phone while Game 4 of the NBA Finals between the Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder took place on Friday night.
During one portion of game action, a fan sitting in the upper bowl of Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis looks to have caught Smith on his phone in the middle of the popular card game.
Based on the amount of cards on Smith’s screen, it is not possible, should it be real, he just started playing and it was a several-minute ordeal.
It’s unclear if the photo is edited or not, although another fan sitting in the lower deck looks to have caught Smith looking at his phone during the action as well.
DailyMail.com has reached out to Smith’s representatives for comment.
‘How can you have all of these opinions while you’re playing solitaire instead of watching the game @stephenasmith?’ the viral post from X user @BleedBlue1986 stated.

‘That’s embarrassing,’ another NBA fan said.
‘He is a disgrace,’ a third continued.
