NBA fans watching Saturday night’s game between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Denver Nuggets must have been wondering what James Harden was doing in the third quarter.

With less than 2 minutes to go in the quarter, Harden was set to come back into the game after taking a breather. However, he forgot to check in before he entered the game, leaving the 76ers with four men on the floor. While on the bench, he tried to sneak onto the court in the middle of a play.

He got hit with the ball and received a technical foul for the strange play.

Philadelphia was down 99-84 at the time, but a strong fourth quarter helped the 76ers get back into the game and eventually pull off the victory, 126-119.

"lil miscommunication, we got the W though," Harden tweeted after the game.

Harden finished with 17 points, 13 assists and four rebounds in the win. Tobias Harris scored all of his 14 points in the second half after he was stymied by the Nuggets’ defense.

"We were able to figure some things out and get some stops," Harris said. "Guys stepping up and making shots was huge for us to cut the deficit in the fourth quarter to try and make something happen."

Sixers superstar Joel Embiid added 47 points and 18 rebounds.

Stetson Bennett, the Georgia quarterback who led the Bulldogs to back-to-back national championships and became one of the best stories in college football, was arrested on Sunday morning.

Bennett was arrested on a public intoxication charge in Dallas around 6 a.m. local time, police confirmed to Fox News Digital. Officers responded to a call about a man "banging on doors" and authorities determined Bennett was intoxicated.

Bennett, 25, was taken to City Detention Center, police said. It’s unclear whether he was released.

The quarterback became a hero for the Bulldogs after leading the team to a blowout victory over TCU in the national championship earlier this month. Georgia coach Kirby Smart gave time for Bennett to get a curtain call in the fourth quarter as they led 52-7.

He wrapped up his collegiate career with two national titles. He also had 8,428 passing yards and 66 touchdown passes in his collegiate career.

The University of Georgia didn’t immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Bennett’s performance in the 2022 season appeared to increase his draft stock going into the spring event. It’s unclear whether the reported arrest would have an effect on that moving forward.
