Beloved performer Red Panda falls from unicycle, taken off court in wheelchair during WNBA halftime show
Red Panda, known for her incredible unicycle routine during halftime shows, left the Target Center floor in a wheelchair after falling during the WNBA Commissioner's Cup final between the Indiana Fever and Minnesota Lynx on Tuesday night. Red Panda, whose real name is Rong "Krystal" Niu, fell from her 7-foot unicycle during the routine, and medical staff quickly rushed out to help. Niu appeared to have suffered a wrist injury and perhaps other parts of her body after falling forward onto the arena floor in Minnesota. As Niu was wheeled off the hardwood, the second half of the game was delayed as arena staff had to repair a dent in the court. Niu has been performing under the Red Panda stage name since the 1990s, and she is well-known in the basketball realm as fans love seeing her routine, which also includes balancing bowls on her head while riding the unicycle. She is over 50 years old, yet continues to perform on the world stage, which included a stop at the NBA Finals this year. She was also a contestant on "Britain's Got Talent" this year, when she made it to the semifinals in the competition. Niu also performed on "America's Got Talent" in the past. The Netflix show "Running Point" also includes her as a storyline. While those in the crowd and watching at home hoped Niu was doing well, the Fever and Lynx resumed play, and Indiana took the Commissioner's Cup with a 74-59 victory. Caitlin Clark was ruled out for the third straight game due to a groin injury that continued to ail the All-Star, but her teammates were cooking on the offensive end. Natasha Howard led the way with 16 points and 12 rebounds for a double-double over 35 minutes on the floor, while Sophie Cunningham dropped 13 points off the bench for Indiana. She tallied seven boards and one assist as well. Also, Aari McDonald, Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston all totaled 12 points each, with Boston notching a double-double as well with 11 rebounds in the win. Napheesa Collier, who will captain one of the WNBA All-Star Game teams against Clark later this month, finished with 12 points, nine rebounds and three assists for the Lynx. Alanna Smith also notched 15 points for Minnesota, but they could never recover after going into halftime with a 32-27 deficit.

Halftime show legend Red Panda exits WNBA Commissioner's Cup final in wheelchair after fall during performance
No halftime show delights fans as consistently as Red Panda and her seemingly impossible unicycle and bowls routine, which made Tuesday's performance at the WNBA Commissioner's Cup final so disheartening. The arena legend left the floor at Minnesota's Target Center in a wheelchair after falling from her 7-foot-tall unicycle and appearing to injure her wrist, among other things. Red Panda, Rong "Krystal" Niu, attempted to walk off the floor with some help, but eventually stopped while a wheelchair was brought out to take her away. The fall also had some potential consequences for the game before the Indiana Fever and Minnesota Lynx came out for the second half, as arena employees took some time to repair a dent in the court. Advertisement Among the people concerned about Red Panda were members of the Fever, who defeated the Lynx 74-59 to win a $500,000 prize pool. On an Instagram Live hosted by Fever guard Sydney Colson, injured Fever star Caitlin Clark sent a message of support while also filling in some teammates in on what happened. Put simply, there is no other performer who does what Red Panda has been doing since the '90s. The fourth-generation Chinese acrobat has become a legendary presence in the world of basketball, where fans who regularly attend games will almost inevitably see her do her act and wonder how on Earth what she does is possible. At more than 50 years old, she's still going strong and even making some new inroads into television. She made the semifinals of "Britain's Got Talent" this year and was part of a storyline in Netflix's "Running Point," in which one of the characters ponders, "How is she not the most famous person on Earth?" She was previously a contestant on "America's Got Talent" as well.
