The Cleveland Cavaliers are having plenty of fun right now, both on and off the court.
They just clinched their division and a postseason berth, and they’re currently riding a 15-game winning streak.
Even so, one of their players might not be smiling right now.
Rookie forward Jaylon Tyson just found out the hard way that he’s not allowed to miss any of his chores.
Apparently, Tyson forgot to bring the doughnuts when it was his turn, and the veterans weren’t going to let him slide.
Following the team’s win over the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday, Donovan Mitchell, Tristan Thompson, and other Cavs veterans poked fun at him by following him around into the parking lot and recording a hilarious prank (via Isaac Okoro Fan Club).

They filled his car with popcorn, and even Tyson had to admit that the prank was a work of beauty.
Mitchell didn’t suit up to play in the narrow win vs. the Brooklyn Nets because of a groin injury, but that didn’t stop him from staying right on Tyson’s toes and making sure he doesn’t forget to bring the doughnuts ever again.
Of course, this is all in good fun.
Pranking and friendly hazing rookies is a longstanding tradition in sports, and while some people have clearly crossed the line at times, this was a harmless joke.
Tyson has played very well in limited opportunities, and his teammates have had nothing but praise for him during his rookie season.
However, tradition is tradition, and he had to get got.
