Jimmy Butler missed Sunday’s All-Star game because of a knee injury, but he still took part in the festivities and was introduced to the fans prior to the game.

Butler was voted into the game as a reserve for the second consecutive season.

Pau Gasol narrowly missed being named an All-Star starter, then was added to the team as a reserve following Butler’s injury, making his sixth All-Star appearance.

This marks the second consecutive year Butler and Gasol have represented Chicago at the All-Star game.
