yahoo -

A group of Catholic nuns known as the Salesian Sisters made a courtside appearance ahead of Game 4 between the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder, bringing both faith and fandom to the Western Conference Finals.

The sisters were seen interacting with players before tipoff, including a moment circulating on social media showing Spurs center Luke Kornet receiving a blessing from two of the nuns.

The Salesian Sisters, based in San Antonio, have followed the Spurs for years and drawn attention during the team’s playoff run for cheering and praying for the team, according to the Salesian Sisters website. Their presence is also tied to their broader mission. The group has said it connects with young people through shared interests, such as sports and uses those connections to build relationships with the community.

The sisters’ appearance in Game 4 comes as the Spurs look to shift momentum in the series, with the group adding both energy and prayer to the playoff atmosphere.
