Ben Affleck's son, Samuel, put on a very animated display as he spent some quality time with his dad on Sunday.
The 12-year-old joined his father, 52, at the Los Angeles Lakers vs. the Toronto Raptors game in Los Angeles and couldn't contain his emotions as he and Ben sat courtside at the Crypto.com Arena.
Samuel appeared to be lost in the game and went through a range of facial expressions as he sat on the edge of his seat before the Lakers claimed victory.
Several photos show the pre-teen animatedly waving his hands around and shouting as he watched the action unfold on the court.
Ben appeared to be just as engrossed in the game and at one point raised his hand in frustration as Samuel held his hand over his mouth.

Since his split from Jennifer, 55, earlier this year, the actor has been prioritizing family time, whether it's helping with school runs or fun outings.

Meanwhile, after months of speculation that their marriage was in trouble, the news was confirmed when Jennifer filed divorce papers in August after two years of marriage.

Jennifer reportedly filed the divorce papers herself in LA County Superior Court without an attorney present.

Their whirlwind romance began in 2002, and they quickly became one of the most talked-about couples in Hollywood.
Following a brief engagement, they broke up in 2004, only to reconnect in 2021, nearly two decades after their initial split.

They then hosted a more lavish, three-day wedding party at Ben's estate in Georgia on August 20, 2022.
Speaking of her wedding day, which took place 18 years after they called off their first engagement, the Marry Me actress wrote in her On the JLo newsletter: "Some old wounds were healed that day and the weight of the past finally lifted off our shoulders. Full-circle — and not at all the way we planned it. Better."

In September, the former couple were seen with their children heading to the Beverly Hills Hotel for lunch before they both attended their children's back-to-school night.
