JoJo Siwahad a close call at the Los Angeles Lakers game on Tuesday.
The 18-year-old star sported a Lakers jersey, matching socks, and two French braids as she watched the Lakers take on the Phoenix Suns at the Crypto.com Arena (formerly the Staples Center) with rumored new girlfriend Katie Mills.
The moment was captured on camera, the clip shared on the Suns' official Twitter page. In the video, Crowder can be seen chasing a ball as it bounced out of bounds in Siwa’s direction. The NBA forward managed to catch the ball and throw it back on the court but wound up diving behind Siwa’s chair, as she ducked and shielded her face with her hand.
Siwa appeared to be amazed at the exchange as she smiled in awe.
“How’s it going down there,@itsjojosiwa?” the Suns asked while sharing the video, which currently has more than 202,000 views.
Seemingly in good spirits, Siwa replied, “Quite well.”
“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.”
NBA player andDancing With the StarswinnerIman Shumpert,who competed against Siwa in season 30 of the celebrity dance competition,also shared the moment on his Instagram Stories, joking to Siwa, “You were supposed to catch him and keep him safe.”
Crowder chimed in on his Instagram Stories too, revealing the moment “hurt bad AF”.

“I haven’t started dating at all, anybody, but whatever happens happens,” she said. “I fell in love with somebody who I didn’t ever expect to fall in love with. We met on a cruise ship, she was my best friend. And then we went to Disney together and all of a sudden … it kind of all happened. And so I think I learned to just trust life and whatever’s supposed to happen is going to happen.”
