Miami Heat’s seasoned star, Jimmy Butler, is making the most of the NBA offseason, and tennis courts seem to be his chosen playground. Butler, who has a penchant for professional tennis, has even served as a ballboy in the past. He’s been making quite a splash with his appearances at these high-profile tennis events, relishing the attention.

During his visit to the US Open, Butler decided to have some fun with the crowd. He held up a sign that read, “Jimmy’s Back!” This playful gesture was captured by Bleacher Report.

Butler isn’t the only NBA superstar venturing into other professional sports events. LeBron James, the Los Angeles Lakers’ icon, has been spotted at Major League Soccer (MLS) games, supporting soccer legend Lionel Messi as he plays for Inter Miami. It seems the United States is embracing these international sports icons.

With the NBA training camp still a few weeks away, Butler is making the most of his time off, following another remarkable playoff run. He led the Heat from the Play-In Tournament to the NBA Finals, reaffirming his status as one of the league’s elite players, despite his old-school approach to the game.

In addition to his tennis outings, Butler is keeping a close watch on the Damian Lillard trade saga, as the superstar guard seeks to join him and Bam Adebayo in Miami for the upcoming season.
