Has there been a moment where NBA players have had to use the restrooms during games?

Basketball players play on court for almost 3 hours. What if someone has to pee during the game, especially if they drink water a lot to stay hydrated. How do they hold it in? They make sure to go during halftime and before game?

Pee'd beside Ian Mahinmi once. Well... not beside since he stood creepily behind me, too close, and waited, when there were two open urinals, and waited until I was done... but yeah, that was a couple minutes into the start of the game.

Donovan Mitchell started his very first game of his career at literally the last second because Rodney Hood had "intestinal distress".

not to brag, but I can hold for a very long time if I need to. But to be real, I bet that happens more often than you think.

Lowry ran into the tunnel a few years ago in the playoffs I believe cause he had to let one rip? Also Pierce **** his pants and had to be escorted to the washroom on a wheelchair. Must happen more than we think

you should be sweating enough that any urine gets turned to sweat, but poop is a different matter.
Unless a player is sitting on the bench for the whole game then they shouldn't have to urinate.

3 hours? pretty sure they have a chance to go at halftime

It's very simple, there's a 3rd connection to the following diagram and basically they never need to pay for another drink again for the rest of their lives, I thought this was common knowledge?
