John Wall played Monday’s Wizards-Celtics game with a heavy heart. Wall dedicated the win to a 6-year-old girl, Miyah Telemaque-Nelson, who died today of cancer. Wall had helped Miyah meet Nicki Minaj at a concert last year, and the two became friends. Our thoughts go out to Miyah’s family, and salute to Wall, who finished with 26 points and 17 assists in the Wizards’ double OT win. Wall tweeted the above photo the game.

The Washington Post has a good write up on Wall’s relationship with Miyah.
