Following the Washington Wizards' 115-104 loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Friday, Dwight Howard headed back onto the court for a late-night free-throw session.

Oblivious to Howard, an arena worker was trying to break his concentration by yelling things like "Brick!"

Howard was wearing ear buds and never heard the heckler, but other workers did and notified a manager, according to Candace Buckner of the Washington Post. The heckler, a contract worker who was hired to clean the 400 level of Capital One Arena, was eventually asked to leave the building.
