NBA stars soon took to Twitter to show their support for Brown and sent their well wishes to the 21-year-old.

LeBron James said: “Prayers sent to you right now and up Jaylen Brown!!!! Glad to see you walk off on your own.”

And Damian Lillard echoed the Cleveland Cavaliers star’s statement by saying: “Happy to see Jayden Brown walk off.”
