Jalen Wilson was among a group of Brooklyn Nets players that was on hand Tuesday to watch the New York Liberty defeat the Washington Mystics in the first round of the WNBA playoffs.
Wilson was joined by Nets teammates Mikal Bridges and Spencer Dinwiddie courtside at Barclays Center for the contest. They were also joined by several other notable individuals, including Carmelo Anthony, Sue Bird, Ashlyn Harris, Fat Joe and Jason Sudeikis among others.
The group was treated to an exciting contest, in which the Liberty won in overtime, 90-85, to advance to the semifinals. Breanna Stewart led the Liberty with 27 points and nine rebounds, and Betnijah Laney and Jonquel Jones each added 19 points apiece.
