Miami Heat

During the NBA All-Star break, Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler used the time off to catch up with No. 1 tennis player Carlos Alcaraz. 

The two reunited when Alcaraz attended Wednesday's game between the Heat and New York Knicks. Their exchange was completed with a meeting courtside after the game. Alcaraz also got to meet Heat legend Dwyane Wade. 

Butler then watched Alcaraz play Thursday in the Miami Open. It was his second meeting with a tennis star during the week. He also posed for photos with women's star Coco Gauff after recently finding out she was a huge fan. 

But after a three-day break, Butler returns to the basketball court tonight against the Brooklyn Nets. The game has major playoff implications, with the Heat and Nets fighting for the No. 6 seed in the Eastern Conference. The holder of the sixth seed avoids a spot in the play-in tournament.
