Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry brought a young fan to tears on Thursday before a game.

According to CNN, 10-year-old PJ O'Byrne had tickets to see the Warriors play the Denver Nuggets in Denver on Dec. 30, but the matchup was postponed due to a COVID-19 outbreak.

The Warriors went to Denver to make up the game on Monday, March 7, but Curry took the game off to rest. Cameras captured O'Byrne's disappointment as she held a sign she made for Golden State's MVP.

According to CNN, the Warriors sent the youngster tickets to Thursday's regularly scheduled game between the Nuggets and the Warriors, and Curry came over to greet her.

The moment was caught by The Denver Post's Mike Singer, as Curry fist-bumped O'Byrne, bringing her to tears right away.

"I'm sorry about Monday, but we made it up, right?" Curry said to her.

O'Byrne repeatedly said, "Oh my goodness" through tears as Curry told her he hoped she enjoys the game.

Curry also signed a card for her and took a picture with her.

After the game, Curry told TNT that fans like O'Byrne make it all "worth it."

"I told her I appreciate the support, the love, that passion for what we do on the court," Curry said. "It makes it all worth it. I know she was upset Monday, and we got to make it up to her."

"That's what the NBA is all about," Curry said. "Our fans are everything."
