It appears that the NBA’s social media account has forgotten about Dave Chappelle. Chappelle was sitting with fellow comedian Amy Schumer at Game Three of the Cleveland Cavaliers-Boston Celtics series in Cleveland Wednesday, and the @NBA Twitter account sent this photo as a result:

That led to plenty of criticism for not mentioning Chappelle:

It should be noted that most others who posted this mentioned Chappelle as well:

Schumer is notable too, of course, and she does have a history of co-starring with the Cavs’ LeBron James. But mentioning her and not Chappelle feels a bit flawed. That may have been a bit of a miss by the NBA’s Twitter account. At least they didn’t attribute Chappelle as Rick James.
