Golden State Warriors guard Damion Lee had arguably the best game of his career in their 118-114 home victory over the Philadelphia 76ers. Stephen Curry and Seth Curry then made sure to show some love to their sister's husband for his impressive outing on Saturday night.

Very supportive brothers-in-laws right there.
Lee finished with 24 points on 10-of-17 shooting to go along with six rebounds, three assists and three triples for the Warriors.
What a way to bounce back from adversity. Many fans criticized Lee in their previous game after he had a horrendous stretch in the closing minutes of their loss to the Toronto Raptors.
Lee tied the knot with Stephen and Seth's youngest sister, Sydel Curry, in September 2018 — a few months after he signed a two-way deal with the Warriors. He spent most of the 2018-19 season in the G-League with the Santa Cruz Warriors
This year, the 27-year old is seeing an increased role for an incredibly depleted Warriors squad. Starting 34 of 47 games so far, Lee is averaging 12.5 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.7 assists while shooting 41.2 percent from the field and 35.4 percent from deep in his third NBA season.
Lee's strong season has impressed Golden State to the point that they inked him to a three-year contract. His deal, however, includes a partial guarantee next season and is fully non-guaranteed in the 2021-22 campaign should he play out the entire 2020-21 season with the Warriors.
Nonetheless, Damion Lee looks like he is pushing the right buttons to earn his money over the next three years with his solid 2019-20 campaign. Lee will undoubtedly have a decreased role next year when Klay Thompson returns from injury, but he may have secured a spot in the regular rotation even if the Dubs are at full strength.
