Halloween night is here, and everyone gets creative to don their quirky outfits. Similarly, Phoenix Suns star Damion Lee recently walked out with his Halloween costume, only to get roasted. The 31-year-old star decided to don the New York Jets superstar Aaron Rodgers’ jersey, along with crutches. This was enough to trigger Rodgers’ loyal fans into engaging in a Twitter fury. Notably, the star quarterback is currently recovering from an Achilles injury.

Rodgers suffered a season-ending injury during his debut week with the Jets. Two months ago, the star also went through a surgery for his torn Achilles. While he was recovering from the injury, Lee’s costume did rub salt in Rodger’s fans’ wounds. Incidentally, they swarmed the social media comments to troll him.
