Washington Wizards' Russell Westbrook agitated as popcorn poured on him while leaving floor with ankle injury

Washington Wizards guard Russell Westbrook had to be held back by arena security staff after popcorn was dumped on his head as he exited Wednesday night's game in Philadelphia with a right ankle injury.

With 10:28 remaining in the fourth quarter and the Wizards trailing the 76ers by 17 points in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series, Westbrook stepped on 76ers guard Furkan Korkmaz's foot and rolled his ankle.

As he left the floor limping to go to the locker room for treatment, a fan appeared to pour popcorn on Westbrook as he went down the tunnel.
