Hunter shared a photo from the night on his Instagram page, giving a closer look at their outfits. He wrote, "@warriors game tonight🙌🏀."

It's no surprise that Fieri chose to take his sons to a basketball game ahead of Ryder's 19th birthday. The dad of two has often taken his boys to watch the team compete from a young age and Ryder is currently working with the San Diego State University division 1 basketball team.

"He's so passionate about the game that he had a choice if he was going to go fraternities or if he was going to go work for the basketball team. And he got an invite to go interview for the basketball team and he did," the Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives host told PEOPLE in November.
