Serious Charge for Celtics Fan Cole Buckley, Who Threw Water Bottle at Kyrie Irving

Cole Buckley allegedly threw a bottle of Dasani water in the direction of Irving as the Nets star entered the tunnel to leave the court following a 39-point performance in a 141-126 victory against the Celtics at TD Garden.

According to police records, security located the individual in question, and a police officer on detail at the arena arrested Buckley as the suspect. A witness from TD Garden security told police the water bottle grazed Irving’s head. A member of Nets security also witnessed the incident, which was caught on video.

The alleged assault crossed the line beyond basketball, Irving said.

TD Garden is cooperating with Boston police and has issued a lifetime ban of Buckley. He will be charged with a felony:
