As the ball boys and girls ran onto the court at Louis Armstrong Stadium on Wednesday night for the U.S. Open’s “Stars of the Open” event, one ball boy stood out from the rest: Heat star Jimmy Butler.
The six-time NBA star was decked out in full ball boy garb, and he got to work on the court during the match between world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz and No. 10 Frances Tiafoe.
But, Butler didn’t stay put on the sidelines. At one point, he grabbed a racquet and jumped onto the court prepared to play Alcaraz, the reigning U.S. Open champion.
