In animated courtside photos, Ben Affleck and his 12-year-old son Samuel, who looks like him, bond over basketball
The father-son duo were spotted cheering on the Los Angeles Lakers at the Crypto.com Arena
Like father, like son!
Ben Affleck and his 12-year-old son Samuel Affleck got in some quality time while sitting courtside at the Crypto.com Arena as they watched the Los Angeles Lakers take on the Golden State Warriors on Thursday, Feb. 6.
The father-son duo cheered on the Lakers with Samuel sporting a jersey featuring LeBron James’ number 23. The Oscar winner went more neutral with his look, in a tan turtleneck and matching blazer and pants. Ben and Samuel were captured with matching expressions during one particularly exciting shot, with Samuel holding up three fingers and screaming as his excited dad watched the shot go in.
The Lakers defeated the Warriors 120 to 112, so the Afflecks likely left the game happy.
Despite cheering on the Lakers, Samuel and Affleck were spotted having a friendly conversation with Warriors star Steph Curry on the court at the end of the game.
This isn’t the first time Ben and Samuel have enjoyed a courtside game together. They were spotted side-by-side at a game in November 2024, and back in March 2024, Samuel attended a Lakers game with Ben and his then-wife Jennifer Lopez.
