Boban Marjanovic: Clippers fan free Chik-fil-A offer missed foul shot

Former Clipper Boban Marjanovic entertains fans by missing free throws, giving them free Chick-fil-A sandwiches during Clippers' regular-season finale.

The Los Angeles Clippers, already secured in the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference playoffs, decided to rest their key players during their regular-season finale against the Houston Rockets at Crypto.com Arena. Despite the lack of impact on their playoff status, the game provided some unexpected entertainment for the fans in attendance.

Former Clippers player Boban Marjanovic, now with the Rockets, unintentionally became the star of the show in the fourth quarter. With the Rockets holding an eight-point lead, Marjanovic stepped up to the free-throw line and missed his first shot, triggering a unique promotion between the Clippers and Chick-fil-A. The "Fowl Shot Promotion" rewards fans with free chicken sandwiches if an opposing player misses consecutive free throws in the fourth quarter.

Marjanovic, known for his good-natured personality, acknowledged the crowd's excitement and intentionally missed his second free throw, much to the delight of the hungry Clippers fans. This gesture marked the seventh time this season that fans received free chicken through the promotion, creating a fun and engaging atmosphere in the arena.

In addition to his free throw antics, Marjanovic also humorously lost a jump ball against a much smaller Clippers guard, adding to the lighthearted nature of the game. Despite the loss, the Rockets finished their season at .500, their first non-losing campaign since 2019-20.

As the Clippers prepare to face the Dallas Mavericks in the first round of the playoffs, the team's rested starters and the well-fed fans from the Chick-fil-A promotion set the stage for an exciting postseason. The uncertain status of Kawhi Leonard, who missed the last eight games with knee issues, adds an element of intrigue to the upcoming series. Overall, the game against the Rockets provided an unexpected and entertaining conclusion to the regular season for both teams and their fans.
