Christian NBA player Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors was recently seen comforting and praying with a young boy who was grieving the loss of his father.

According to RelevantMagazine.com, Dallas Mavericks player Devin Harris lost his brother, Bruce, in a tragic car accident. Bruce left behind a young son who took the news of his father’s death very hard.

On Monday evening, the Dallas Mavericks were set to play the Golden State Warriors, but before the game, the Warriors’ star player Steph Curry, an outspoken Christian, was seen comforting and apparently praying with Bruce Harris’ son on the sidelines.

Bleacher report posted a tweet showing a video of Curry and the young boy.

 

 

Devin Harris has also said that the Mavericks, including owner Mark Cuban, have been very supportive.

“I lost my brother tragically and it’s been a tough week. The family is taking it pretty hard, as you would expect them to. Probably the toughest thing I’ve had to deal with, dealing with myself, trying to explain it to his kids, my kids—it’s just been tough,” he said.

“I can only sit in the house for so long. And these are my brothers, too. I spend every day with them, so just to be able to be around them has to be a healing them for me as well. I came to spend some time with my nephew to try to get his mind off of it.”
