From Miami to San Francisco to Doha: What is Jimmy Butler doing in Qatar?

Back at the start of the New Year, Jimmy Butler complained that he was unhappy and wanted nothing more than “to get his joy back”.

After serving two bans and issuing a trade request, the 35-year-old guard finally got what he wanted, quit Miami to sign for the Golden State Warriors.

After sinking 19 points in Golden State’s 105-98 win against the Rockets on Thursday, Jimmy has a few days off before the next game and is making the most of his free time by relaxing at the Qatar ExxonMobil Open.

Butler is a special guest at the ATP Tour event and is over in Doha to show support for his great friend Carlos Alcaraz, who he befriended at the Miami Masters 1000.

The Warriors guard even got the chance to practice a few return shots with the Spaniard, who is currently ranked third in the world standings.
