Cameron Payne gets playful ‘fake name’ arrest jab from Josh Hart after his Knicks deal
NY Post
Josh Hart couldn’t help himself after news broke that Cameron Payne was headed to the Knicks, poking fun at Payne’s arrest last month after he allegedly refused to give Scottsdale police his real name during an investigation.
“Shoutout Terry,” Hart wrote on X after the news broke.
The social media post was a reference to the name he allegedly told officers — Terry Johnson — after police showed up after he had called 911.
