Brooklyn Nets star James Harden sported a Juventus jersey as he showed support to his fellow Adidas athlete in Juventus midfielder Paulo Dybala who is having a rough campaign in the 2020-21 season thus far.
Dybala appreciated the gesture as he posted a video of Harden on Twitter:
✌@JHarden13 thanks for the support!!

The Argentine football player recently encountered a knee injury in the first half of their game against U.S. Sassuolo Calcio in Serie A action back on Jan. 10. After his early exit, the other Juventus players still managed to pick up the slack as the team ultimately won on a 3-1 decision.
Dybala's latest setback forced him to remain on the sidelines for two to three weeks. In that span, he has already missed four matches in Serie A and another four outings in the Italian Cup. Due to his condition, he also failed to suit up in his team's Super Cup tilt against Partenopei.
Without him, Andrea Pirlo's squad still managed to find their groove led by the efforts of Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo. Juventus is currently sitting at the third spot of the Serie A standings with 12 wins, two losses, and six draws to account for 42 points.
The Italy-based club is currently trailing behind the second-seeded Inter Milan with 14 wins, two losses, and five draws for 47 points. Meanwhile, AC Milan continues to lead the pack with 15 wins, two losses, and four draws for 49 points.
Despite the good showing from Juventus, they will still need the production of one of their top players in their coming games. Paulo Dybala will most likely make his return on the field in their match against FC Porto in the Champions League on Feb. 17.
Meanwhile, James Harden and the Nets will take on the Golden State Warriors this Saturday, Feb. 13, on the road, as Brooklyn looks to score back-to-back wins after a short losing skid.
