Alex Rodriguez was shocked Sunday night when one of his daughters surprised him at the Minnesota Timberwolves game.
Rodriguez, who is trying to buy the team with business partner Marc Lore, was in the stands when the T-Wolves lost 116-107 to the Dallas Mavericks and fell into an 0-3 hole in the Western Conference Finals.
But the former Yankees star got a heartwarming surprise during the game when his daughter Natasha surprised him at the Target Center – with the help of her sister Ella.
In a clip posted to Rodriguez’s Instagram, he was seen sitting with 16-year-old Ella while his youngest daughter distracted him by pointing at the jumbotron.
As the hopeful Timberwolves owner looked away, Natasha then snuck next to her father’s court – before the pair shared an emotional hug.

The ex-slugger has been a fixture at Timberwolves games this postseason as he and Lore try to finalize their deal for the team.
They announced plans to buy the team from Glen Taylor in 2021, but Taylor recently exercised his right to withdraw from the final part of the structured deal, saying the potential buyers had failed to deadline for the final payment of $600 million (out of $1.5 billion). total).
Rodriguez and Lore denied missing the final payment, saying in a joint statement that they “have met our obligations and have all necessary financing in place” and called Taylor’s move an “unfortunate case of seller’s remorse.”
Lore and Rodriguez have since claimed that they are awaiting approval from the NBA for a 90-day extension.
