Jennifer Garner and her son are getting in on the fun.

The actress and her youngest child, son Samuel, enjoyed sitting courtside at the Crypto.com Arena as the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors faced off on Sunday.

The Yes Day star, 50, wore a sweater, black jeans and black boots, while 10-year-old son Samuel showed his devotion to the Warriors by wearing a blue Stephen Curry t-shirt, jeans and mismatched sneakers.

Last month, Samuel enjoyed the 2023 NBA All-Star Weekend in Salt Lake City, Utah, with dad Ben Affleck.
