ETA: According to the Associated Press, One Tree Hill took advantage of halftime at the March 28th Charlotte Bobcats vs the New York Knicks game in Charlotte, North Carolina to film a scene from an upcoming episode.

Apparently James Lafferty was there to do seven takes where he was introduced as a Bobcats starter? Does that mean good things are in store for the upcoming season for Nathan? We’ll see.
