Jennifer Hudson and boyfriend Common got a bit too close to the action at the Knicks game Tuesday. The couple sat courtside at Madison Square Garden to watch the New York Knicks play against the Golden State Warriors,

The "Dreamgirls" star was hit by a basketball while sitting with Common, prompting commentators to question if he "protected her."

On top of that, her boyfriend Common accidentally bopped her in the face while trying to protect her from the ball, knocking off her glasses. At the same time, Knicks guard Miles McBride ran into her trying to pursue the loose ball. "Protect Jennifer Hudson!!" TNT play-by-play announcer Ian Eagle said on the broadcast.
