Kanye West sat courtside with a friend to watch the Lakers face off against the Sacramento Kings at Staples Center in Los Angeles on Friday night.

As the 44-year-old watched his team lose by a mere four points, he sported an oversized black leather jacket over a matching hoodie and newsboy cap

The outing came just hours after West shared an old photo of him and his estranged wife Kim Kardashian kissing in another bid to win the 41-year-old star back.

While he appeared laser-focused on Friday's game, West also indulged in some chicken strips and fries at his seat with the best view in the arena. 

At one point, he looked a bit weary as he watched the nail-biting basketball match unfold on a night off from his four kids.

Afterward, he delighted fans by stopping for selfies and signing autographs on the street outside the venue as he walked to his car.

West may have felt a weight lifted off his shoulders after having bared his heart to the world in five-minute video titled Thanksgiving Prayer on Thursday.

In the prayer, West voiced regret over allegedly embarrassing his 'good wife' Kardashian, 41, with his failed presidential run in 2020.

He claimed that Kim was particularly bothered by his now infamous South Carolina press conference where he claimed they'd considered aborting their now eight-year-old daughter North. 

'Let's go with politics here. Good Lord, my wife did not like me wearing the red hat. Being a good wife, [Kim] wanted to protect me and our family,' said West, famously wore the controversial cap in the years leading up to his own presidential campaign.

West continued: 'I made me and our family a target by not aligning with Hollywood's political stance and that was hard for our marriage.

'Then I ran for president without proper preparation and no allies on either side.

'I embarrassed my wife in the way that I presented information about our family during the one and only, thank God, press conference,' he said.

'All my dad had to say afterwards was, ''write your speech next time son.''

Following the disastrous press conference, Kim spoke on her husband's mental health for the very first time in a post shared to her Instagram account on July 22. 

'As many of you know, Kanye has bi-polar disorder. Anyone who has this or has a loved one in their life who does, knows how incredibly complicated and painful it is to understand. 

'I've never spoken publicly about how this has affected us at home because I am very protective of our children and Kanye's right to privacy when it comes to his health. But today, I feel like I should comment on it because of the stigma and misconceptions about mental
