While undergoing maintenance on Tuesday, the Jumbotron at the Charles E. Smith Center on the campus of George Washington University fell to the court. The good news in all of this was that no one was injured, and with the Jumbotron already in a lowered position it didn’t have very far to go before hitting the court.
The school has yet to determine just how much damage was done to either the Jumbotron on the court.

The scoreboard was undergoing maintenance today and dropped unexpectedly from its lowered position just above the floor. Nobody was injured (thankfully) and the scene is being assessed for any damage.

This summer, George Washington hosted the Washington Mystics during the WNBA Playoffs.
The schedule for Wednesday’s Game 3 of the WNBA Finals between the Mystics and Seattle Storm will not be affected as that game (and Game 4) were already scheduled to be played at George Mason.
