After Jimmy Butler posed for a picture with a fan and before he hopped in a black SUV following the 76ers shoot-around at North Central University in Elliot Park, he got a reminder of what life is like in Minnesota.
“Damn, it’s cold,” he said as the door opened.
It was the only time Butler conceded to feeling something in his return to Minnesota, the place that will likely end up being a one-plus year layover in Butler’s career.
“It’s no different to me,” Butler said of his emotions returning to Target Center before Saturday’s game against the Timberwolves.
