It’s not entirely uncommon for players to attend NBA games of teams they don’t play for. But those instances are usually when a team has an off-day in a city where a game is normally taking place, save for some particularly special occasions.
What is uncommon is what Jimmy Butler did on Tuesday. After playing in Miami on Monday against the Hakws and prior to playing at home on Wednesday against the Cavs, Butler flew across the country to watch Pau Gasol’s jersey retirement ceremony.
