Washington Wizards owner Ted Leonsis wore a Kelly Oubre Jr. jersey to Game 4 against the Boston Celtics on Sunday. It was a silent show of solidarity to his second-year forward, who had been suspended the previous game.

He even tweeted it out himself with the #FreeOubre tag.
Oubre charged and rammed over Celtics big man Kelly Olynyk in Game 3 after he took exception to two hard screens that were set. He was assessed a flagrant foul two, ejected, and eventually suspended for Game 4.
Leonsis has supported a suspended Wizard before.
In Washington’s 2014 playoff series against the Chicago Bulls, the Wiz’s owner sported a Nene jersey after the big man was ejected then suspended for a mid-game altercation. He wore the jersey during Game 4 that year as well, sparking “Free Nene” chants throughout the Verizon Center.
