Basketball fans flooded social media with a wave of support for Hamidou Diallo of Oklahoma after the rookie suffered a terrible injury in the NBA.
Diallo was heavily injured in the ankle during his 123-95 win over the Golden State Warriors at Oracle Arena in Oakland on Wednesday night.
The 20-year-old was obviously anxious when he quickly left the field on a stretcher.
Diallo had a rebound with Warriors forward Jonas Jerebko in front of the edge in the middle of the fourth quarter.
The two men collided in the air and Diallo completely twisted his left ankle when he fell to the ground.

Diallo could be seen writhing in pain as he crawled to the baseline, where medical staff had contacted him to assess the injury.
The young man was then taken off the court on a stretcher as the fans prayed for his speedy recovery.
Prayers for @hamidoudiallo. From one queen to the other. Prayer for you and your family. Hopefully nothing bad.
