The NBA has honored Terrence Clarke with a special tribute.
On Thursday evening, the professional basketball league paid tribute to the late basketball star, who died in a car accident earlier this year, during the first round of the NFL draft.
Taking place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, NBA commissioner Adam Silver took a brief moment to pause before he announced Clarke as the 15th and honorary pick.
"His extraordinary talent, commitment and dedication to the game deserve to be recognized on this stage," Silver, 59, said during the event. "It is my honor to now announce that, with the next pick in the 2021 NBA draft, the NBA selects Terrence Clarke from the University of Kentucky."
After he was posthumously selected for the honor, Clarke's mother, sister and brother were then invited onto the stage during the touching moment.

It was a nice touch. I didn't watch any of the draft, but I did see the video clip of his introduction and his family walking up on stage!
