Bulls fans won’t get the chance to watch Jimmy Butler at this weekend’s NBA All-Star game in Toronto. They will, however, get to see Butler in a Mountain Dew ad scheduled to air during the game.
Butler signed with Mountain Dew last year and has since been featured on billboards and has represented the brand with personal appearances. The television ad will be the second national spot to feature the Bulls star.
Butler, who will miss Sunday’s game because of a sprained knee, has previously appeared in national ads for the NBA Store and a local BMO Harris commercial.
With Butler sitting this one out, Pau Gasol was elevated to an All-Star and will be Chicago’s lone representative at the game.
