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.

John Summit is preparing for the biggest tour of his career this fall with the launch of his 20 date CTRL ESCAPE arena tour, beginning Oct. 1. The massive run arrives in support of his latest album CTRL ESCAPE, which was released on April 15.
The tour will officially kick off in Champaign, a meaningful starting point for Summit since it is the same city where he studied accounting at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign before transitioning into music full time. His past life working toward a career in accounting also heavily inspired themes throughout the new album.
Following the opening date, the tour heads into Canada for three performances before returning to the United States for a stretch of East Coast shows and southern stops, including two dates in his adopted home city of Miami. Summit will then return to his hometown of Chicago for two performances before wrapping up the run with stops in Philadelphia, Brooklyn, and a final show in Oakland.
The arena trek adds to what has already been another packed year for the producer. This summer, Summit is scheduled to hold a residency at UNVRS in Ibiza, headline Lollapalooza in late July, and host the second edition of his Experts Only Festival on Randall’s Island in New York on Sept. 19 and 20.
Summit has already started teasing the arena production on social media, recently posting a rendering of the planned stage design. A full scale arena tour of this size remains relatively uncommon within electronic music and follows previous major headline performances at Folsom Field in Boulder and Madison Square Garden in New York.
