Wall said he dedicated his performance in the Wizards double-overtime win against the Boston Celtics
to Miyah Telemaque-Nelson. He met her a few months after she was
diagnosed with Burkitt's Lymphoma and started a social media campaign to
help her meet rapper Nicki Minaj, reports CSN Washington.
"It's just tough to see a little kid who fights so hard against cancer and can't beat it," Wall said after the game.
"You're never like this. She really touched your heart, didn't she?" asked CSN Washington reporter Chris Miller.
Wall, unable to respond, only shook his head "yes" as he began sobbing.
