NBA stars Larry Nance Jr and TJ McConnell showed their support for Leeds United on the weekend, as the two met on court before the Pelican's clash with the Pacers.

Investors in the 49ers Enterprises group, Nance Jr and McConnell have been vocal in their following all season, arriving at games sporting Leeds United clothing and sending messages of support on social media.

Facing each other twice over two days, McConnell's Pacers won 123-114 in Indiana on Wednesday night, before Nance Jr's Pelicans returned the favour at New Orlean's Smoothie King Centre on Friday, winning 129-102.

Ahead of the second matchup, Nance Jr posted a picture of the two on Instagram doing the Leeds salute, with the caption "Always good seeing my brother".

With the top six from the Eastern and Western Conferences earning spots in the NBA Playoffs, both teams are very much in contention, with the Pelicans in fifth place and the Pacers in eighth.
