WALTHAM, Mass. (AP) -- Boston Celtics forward Glen Davis has apologized for bumping a 12-year-old boy while celebrating his game-winning shot against the Orlando Magic.
Davis said Tuesday he didn't see the boy as he turned and ran to the Celtics bench to celebrate his 21-foot jumper that gave the Celtics a 95-94 win over the Magic on Sunday. It tied the second-round playoff series at 2-2.
Video of the play shows the 6-foot-9, 289-pound Davis ducking behind a referee and stepping out of bounds before bumping the boy and knocking off his hat.
The boy's father wrote the NBA office demanding an apology.
