Fans were surprised to see Drake sitting courtside in Oklahoma City on Wednesday night.
The rapper was all smiles at Paycom Center to watch the Rockets beat the Thunder, 114-110, which marked Houston’s fourth straight win.
But why was Drake watching two of the worst teams in the NBA?
The Toronto native, who’s a diehard Raptors fan and an ambassador for the team, became the talk of Twitter for his “random” appearance in OKC.
One person tweeted, “Why is drake at a Thunder game against the Rockets in December on a Wednesday night?”
Another fan tweeted that the matchup between the Rockets (5-16) and Thunder (6-15) was the “last game I’d expect him to go too.”
Drake’s attendance raised more questions with fans, seeing as he was in Toronto just two days prior. He made a surprise appearance
at Giveon’s tour to perform their collaboration, “Chicago Freestyle.”
It’s unclear who attended the game with Drake, but the Grammy winner was spotted snapping selfies with a couple sitting next to him.
“My new parents,” he captioned a photo with a man and woman.
The Rockets extended their winning streak on Wednesday, despite being without rookie star guard Jalen Green.
The second overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft has missed the last two games due to a strained left hamstring he sustained in a win against the Bulls.
The 19-year-old — who is averaging 14 points per game and 2.3 assists in his rookie season — will be reevaluated in a week, Rockets coach Stephen Silas said.
