The Jazz hosted the Sixers at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah on Thursday, February 1.
Utah suffered a 127-124 loss to Philadelphia.
During the contest, Jazz mascot, Bear, approached Wilson in the crowd. The NFL signal-caller got up from his seat and signed a couple of footballs before throwing them across the arena and into the crowd for a pair of lucky fans.
Wilson’s parents were sitting next to the Jets player and his mother shared a video of one of his throws on her Instagram account.
