DeMar DeRozan’s 9-year-old daughter, Diar, became a viral star during the Chicago Bulls’ Wednesday night play-in tournament victory over the Raptors in Toronto.
The Raptors shot 18-of-36 on free throws during the effort, in which she attempted to play her part, screaming as each Raptor toed the foul line.
While she was mostly celebrated for her contributions on social media, it appeared, there were fans so bothered by a 9-year-old having fun at her dad’s basketball game that she was targeted with “severe online threats,” according to Chris Haynes of TNT and Bleacher Report.
Haynes noted that Diar was “escorted out of Scotiabank Arena on Wednesday by Bulls’ security,” additionally noting that she was led to the team’s bus by her father after the NBA notified the Bulls of “severe online threats directed at the nine-year-old.
