Young Fan Sitting Near Pacers Bench Jokingly Asked If He Could Check In – Pacers Let Him & He Even Scored

This is what every kid dreams of.

A young Indiana Pacers fan named Jackson jokingly asked to be subbed into the Pacers’ pre-season scrimmage. Much to his surprise, his wish was granted.

What makes this even greater is the fact that Jackson delivered, as he was able to score a basket.

“Jackson, a young fan sitting near the white team bench, just jokingly asked if he could check in. So the Pacers let him. And he scored, wearing Buddy Hield’s jersey.”
