The Golden State Warriors are standing by one man currently on death row. All-Star guard Stephen Curry and head coach Steve Nash have put their support behind Julius Darius Jones, a man feared by many to have been wrongly convicted nearly two decades ago.

The Warriors went on a road trip to Oklahoma, where Jones is currently being held, for their game against the OKC Thunder. Jones was convicted for first-degree murder in 2002 but maintains to this day that he had no involvement in said grievous act.

Both Kerr and Curry were vocal in separate Twitter videos expressing their support in favor of getting Jones off death row and potentially an official pardon.

Via San Francisco Chronicle:

“There’s definitely an awareness level of what’s happening,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said hours before the opening tip. “It’s just something we feel strongly about and support.”
