Dave Roberts Invites NBA Star to Throw Ceremonial First Pitch at Dodgers Game Next Season

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts sent a friendly invitation to an NBA star after his local team rejected him.

Roberts is riding high after the Dodgers won their second straight World Series, and heading into a new season next year, he will be looking to capture a three-peat, something not done in over two decades.

Amid the grind of another 162 games coming, the Dodgers’ skipper is still looking to have fun.

During a recent offseason interview, he offered an olive branch to Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton, who was supposed to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at a Milwaukee Brewers game back in 2024.
