Fresh off his 33-point performance in Golden State’s Game 7 victory against Houston in the first round Sunday, Warriors guard Buddy Hield started Game 1 against Minnesota wearing the wrong shorts.
The Warriors had to call a timeout and were issued a delay of game as Hield rushed to the locker room to put on the correct game shorts.
While it’s not common, it has happened before. LeBron James and Michael Beasley are among players who had the wrong game shorts on before tipoff.

The Timberwolves noticed Hield’s wardrobe malfunction, and the Warriors had to burn a timeout 59 seconds into the game with the score tied at 2.
Hield gets a pass. The Warriors needed his nine 3-pointers, which tied an NBA Game 7 record for most 3s by a player in a single game, to eliminate the Rockets and reach the Western Conference semifinals.
