All these entities were in the stands as the world witnessed the upsetting loss that world No.1 Carlos Alcaraz sustained. Alcaraz lost to Italian Tennis star Jannik Sinner in the semifinals of the Miami Open on Friday.
However, NBA fans ended up sparking bizarre rumors regarding Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic. As both Luka Doncic and Jimmy Butler were in attendance to see the semi-final, fans may have jumped the gun a bit.
Many started speculating that there might soon be a new duo or a big three in Miami, given that Bam Adebayo would be the third. But a lot of the fans in the comments section were convinced that Luka Doncic would be coming to Miami. Given that the Mavericks are not having the season they had hoped for, Doncic coming to the Heat may be far-fetched.
Fans getting a reality check within the comments
Fans in the comments section were quick to jump to the conclusion that Luka Doncic will be joining forces with Jimmy Butler, only over the fact that both players were seen attending the Miami Open.

Yet, this did not stop fans from speculating. One fan tweeted, ?The New Dynamic Duo Luka and Jimmy @MickyArison the Overhyped 1 can go.?
