MIAMI, Fla. – Following the Utah Jazz’s loss to the Miami Heat, superstars Dwyane Wade and Donovan Mitchell did something usually seen on the football field, and not done so often on the basketball court; they exchanged jerseys.

Calling the whole game “special”, Mitchell told reporters after the game that the postgame interaction with the jersey swap was also very sentimental.
“That was special as well,” said the second-year guard. “I hit him up to make sure I could snag it from him. He’s an all-time great. To be able to play against him in that setting was special.”
Mitchell finished the game with 18 points while Wade finished with 15, including the game winning free throws to put Miami up by two with seconds remaining.
