James Harden arrived at Toyota Center for Game 2 against the Jazz wearing a chain honoring his late friend Nipsey Hussle.
The Rockets star, wearing a blue suit with a black T-shirt, wore a medallion bearing the face of the Los Angeles rapper Wednesday night.
Harden and Nipsey Hussle were close friends with Harden hosting the rapper's album release party in 2018 in Hollywood, Calif.
Nipsey Hussle was shot outside his Marathon Clothing Company store in Los Angeles on March 31.
"He was powerful, not just to a certain dynamic or to a certain city, but just to the world," Harden said a few days after the rapper's murder.
