Saleem described the situation as 'crazy' as he was not able to believe the jersey survived the fire. He proceeded to click a photo of the jersey, posting it on his Twitter account. After spending a few days in a hotel, he visited the Barclays Center for a San Antonio Spurs vs Nets game. Nets won the game by 19 points and Saleem revealed that the game was something he 'needed'. 

At the game, Nets tweeted to Saleem and had a staff member come and find him. After the game, Saleem and his friends were brought to meet Dinwiddie, who signed a new jersey for him. Saleem even sent his Irving jersey with the PR to have Kyrie Irving sign it for him. A couple of days later, Kyrie Irving sent back the jersey to Saleem, having signed it with a message, grateful that his fan was not harmed in the fire.
