Silva moved to the US in 2012 from Gabon in Africa to pursue a career in basketball. Since then, Silva, 23, had only seen his family once and that was three years ago, he said.

Silva told reporters on Friday that he had talked to his mother over the phone on Christmas Day and never imagined that he would see her soon.

'I thought I was seeing a ghost,' Silva said of the reunion.

Obame traveled more than 6,300 miles from Gabon to see her son and to hopefully see him play live in the NBA.

While Silva didn't play during Friday's game, the team is set to face the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday.

'Thank you so much to the @MiamiHEAT and everyone in it who helped with this! Thank you Adam Silver and @NBA_Africa for the funds and words can't explain I was shook even after the game and still can't believe it! Blessed! This is a Christmas miracle!,' Silva tweeted on Saturday.

The team said NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and NBA Senior Vice President of International Basketball Operations Kimberly Bohuny and NBA Africa collaborated to reunite Silva and his mother.
