Two days after watching his season end prematurely against the Pittsburgh Penguins, Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin and his grotesquely bruised thigh attended Game Six of the Washington Wizards’ second-round series against the Boston Celtics. Ovechkin nabbed courtside seats and was joined at the game by his wife Nastya Ovechkina, his older brother Mikhail Ovechkin, and his close friend Gus.

The Wizards, who were down 3-2 and facing elimination, won 92-91 after John Wall nailed a clutch three over Avery Bradley with 3.5 seconds left.

Ovechkin was first spotted at the game by CSN Mid-Atlantic’s Chase Hughes. He came to the game wearing a Wall jersey and a black Air Jordan hat.

The Washington Post’s Dan Steinberg also posted this picture Ovechkin took with a fan.
