JoJo Siwa got a little scare while sitting courtside at a recent Los Angeles Lakers game.
Sporting a Lakers jersey with matching purple and yellow socks, the 18-year-old pop singer and dancer was nearly trampled by Phoenix Suns player Jae Crowder during the NBA game at L.A.’s Crypto.com Arena, formerly the Staples Center, on Tuesday (Dec. 21).
In a video clip of the jarring moment, Siwa, who was seated next to her rumored girlfriend Katie Mills, is seen shielding her face and ducking as the 6-foot-6 Suns forward dives near her chair as he attempts to save the ball from going out of bounds.
“How’s it going down there, @itsjojosiwa?” the Suns captioned the video on its official Twitter account. Ever the good sport, Siwa replied, “Quite well.”
The singer and dancer also took to her Instagram Story after the game to share her excited reaction. “I just got trampled by a player,” Siwa said, according to People. “It was really cool. Also, I just saw my life flash before my eyes.”
She added, “If I wouldn’t have ducked, I would’ve been out, down for the count. I think I would’ve got a broken neck… It’s honestly really entertaining. It really spiced up the day.”
Watch Siwa’s close call at the Lakers-Suns game below.

Shania Twain has shared her admiration for Sabrina Carpenter, praising the pop star for remaining grounded and gracious despite her soaring popularity.
The 59 year old country pop icon teamed up with the 26 year old singer for a festive rendition of "Santa Baby" on Sabrina's 2024 Netflix holiday special, A Nonsense Christmas. Sabrina later paid tribute to Twain by performing a cover of the country legend's 1998 hit "That Don't Impress Me Much" during the Toronto stop of her Short n' Sweet Tour.
Speaking with EtalkCTV, Twain said she was impressed not only by Carpenter's talent but also by her genuine personality and work ethic.
“She’s [Sabrina] so beautiful and she’s so popular.
“She’s almost too popular to have to be nice. But she’s nice anyway, and I really love that about her. And she’s super talented, you know? We were singing and doing rehearsals, and she’s just got this beautiful voice, she can sing anything. And she’s a great actress, she takes her career very seriously.”
Twain had previously praised Carpenter's decision to perform "That Don't Impress Me Much" during her Toronto concert, describing it as a meaningful compliment.
Speaking with ET, she said: “It’s just a huge compliment. I mean she is such a talented person. You know, she really does have a clue about what’s going on behind the scenes. She’s smart. It’s a compliment to have her, I mean, not that she’s paying homage, she’s just a fan of music, and she’s displaying it and expressing it. So, that’s great.”
Elsewhere, Twain recently opened up about her own approach to her career, explaining that she has never wanted to feel limited by expectations or labels.
The singer, who has sold more than 100 million records worldwide and is known for classics including "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" and "You’re Still the One," admitted she becomes uncomfortable whenever she feels creatively restricted.
Speaking to People earlier this year, Twain explained: "If I feel like I'm being put in a box, I start to panic.
"I run in any direction I can because I don't want to be contained. I have to be able to find my own way.
"Sometimes I'm not even sure where I'm going myself. How can somebody else tell me that, right? So I need the freedom to explore and to land wherever that exploration takes me."
