Jennifer Hudson was hit in the face by a basketball as she sat courtside during a Knicks game on Tuesday at Madison Square Garden – and the shocking moment was caught on camera.
The songstress, 43 – who recently stunned at the NAACP Image Awards – was sitting next to her partner and rapper Common when the basketball suddenly flew in her direction at the Knicks vs. Golden State Warriors match.
The incident occurred when Knicks’ Miles McBride reached for the ball near the sideline that was swiftly launched in his direction but couldn’t get a grip – resulting in the basketball slamming directly at Hudson.
McBride got a hold of the ball and immediately checked on the TV personality and shook her hand before jogging back onto the court.
Jennifer appeared to be shaken up as she removed her glasses from her face which seemingly were bent.
Common reached his arm around the performer in a comforting gesture as one commentator yelled out, ‘Protect Jennifer Hudson!’
