Bruce Harris , 38, was killed in a car accident last week.

Livingston is a longtime friend of the Harris family and arranged for Stephen Curry to meet with Bruce's 9-year-old son Brayden before Tuesday's Warriors-Mavericks game in Dallas.

Devin Harris missed three games after his brother's death before returning to play 10 minutes Thursday against the Grizzlies. He spoke to reporters before the Warriors game about the loss of his older brother.

"The family is taking it pretty hard, as you would expect them to," Harris said, via ESPN.com . "Probably the toughest thing I've had to deal with, dealing with myself, trying to explain it to his kids, my kids. It's just been tough."
