ACTOR ADAM SANDLER ROCKS SPURS CITY EDITION SWEATPANTS IN NEW NETFLIX SHOW
If you blinked, you might have missed actor/comedian Adam Sandler wearing the Spurs 2023-24 City Edition sweatpants in the trailers for his new Netflix show.
Netflix released the trailer for the upcoming show "Adam Sandler: I Love You," and he is seen wearing the team's alternate sweatpants they wore last season.
You can watch the trailer here but be warned of some "not safe for work" language used.

This is not the first time Sandler is seen wearing the Spurs gear.
In January, he was spotted wearing the same pants in Hollywood to celebrate comedian Jim Carrey's birthday.
