Minnesota Timberwolves star Jimmy Butler helped his teammate Tyus Jones get a flight so he could watch Duke take on Kentucky in the Blue Devils’ opener. Jones, 22, was named Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four in 2015 when he led Duke to a national championship victory. But as his former college team was set to tip off their new season, Jones struggled to find a way to get to Indiana for the Champions Classic. This game was very meaningful to Jones. Not only did he see a great match-up between the No. 4 ranked Blue Devils and the No. 2 Wildcats, he got a chance to watch his younger brother Tre Jones play. Like Tyus, Tre is a point guard for Duke.

Christopher Hine: Tom Thibodeau said Jimmy Butler is playing tonight. Jeff Teague is still out, “day to day.” Tyus Jones will return tonight after a one-game absence.
When Tyus Jones first heard that the Minnesota Timberwolves were designing an alternate jersey in honor of Prince, he knew how important it was that the team and Nike get it right. Jones is 22, too young for Prince’s heyday, but he grew up about half an hour from Minneapolis — Prince’s hometown — and understands the musical superstar’s connection to the region and its basketball teams. “Being from here, you know,” Jones says. “He’s obviously an icon, but he’s even more of an icon and a legend here.”
