Actor and comedian Will Ferrell was among the many famous faces seen sitting courtside for the Sixers vs. Pacers game on Monday.

The Indiana Pacers had an unofficial addition to their in-game hype crew on Monday: actor and comedian Will Ferrell.

Ferrell was at Gainbridge Fieldhouse early on and was busy throughout the game, hilariously taking on the role of hype man for Indiana as it hosted the Philadelphia 76ers.
