The popular half-time show performer, who goes by Red Panda, fell off her unicycle and crashed to the court during a court intermission on Tuesday.

The incident occurred during the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup final between the Indiana Fever and the Minnesota Lynx, and she was unable to finish her show.

Her condition was not immediately known. She appeared to be grabbing at her left wrist after the fall – she fell forward off the unicycle onto the court – and was helped off the floor in a wheelchair.

Red Panda, whose name is Rong Niu, is a Chinese-American woman who comes from a family of performing acrobats.
