Veteran basketball player Jason Collins has become the first openly gay athlete to play in a competitive game for a major US professional sports league.
Earlier on Sunday, he signed a 10-day contract with the Brooklyn Nets.
Collins entered the court at the start of the second quarter in a game against the Los Angeles Lakers.
The 35-year-old centre, who has played for five other NBA teams, was given a warm reception by the crowd.
He only revealed he was gay in a Sports Illustrated magazine interview last April.
At the time he was not signed to a team.
Needing another big man, the Nets turned to the seven-foot Collins, who helped them reach two NBA Finals in the early 2000s.
"The decision to sign Jason was a basketball decision,'' general manager Billy King said in a statement.
"We needed to increase our depth inside, and with his experience and size, we felt he was the right choice for a 10-day contract.''
The news comes as Michael Sam, another US sportsman who recently revealed he is gay, prepares to take part in American Football's NFL Scouting Combine - a showcase of college players looking to be signed by NFL teams.
Last May, Los Angeles Galaxy footballer Robbie Rogers became the first openly gay male athlete to play in a US professional league.
However Major League Soccer is not regarded as one of the four main sports competitions in the US.

Bhumi Pednekar recently appeared in the comedy Thank You For Coming and the film invited some extreme reactions from the viewers. While some praised the film for its bold concept, some shamed it for that. In an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Bubble host Akash Bhatnagar, Bhumi spoke about the latter group of people and slammed them for the shaming. She expressed her disappointment towards people who didn’t criticise the film but its intent. The actress discussed the prevalent gender bias and how people never took offence when she was a part of such stories told from a male perspective. She pointed out how Pankaj Tripathi and Akshay Kumar starrer OMG 2 was supported by the same people who shamed her film, when somewhere they dealt with the same subject. Bhumi revealed if not getting any support from women within the industry disappointed her. She highlighted the hypocrisy of the situation that people accept objectification of women but have a problem with them talking about their sexuality. You can watch the entire conversation here.
