Ahead of Friday night's matchup between the Utah Jazz and the Minnesota Timberwolves, a bat was seen flying inside Vivint Smart Home Arena during pregame shootaround.

It seems that even bats are watching a lot of NBA games lately.

I guess these fellas are tired of watching the San Antonio Spurs and one of them decided to check the Jazz, one of the hottest teams in the Western Conference. Utah has won eight of its last 10 games and are now back in the Western Conference playoff race.

The bat probably got curious.

Now the next question is, where's Manu Ginobili when he's needed? Wait, maybe this bat flew out of San Antonio so it could be as far away from him as possible? Pretty sure he heard what's happened in San Antonio.

Maybe the NBA should start considering creating a section for winged creatures like this fella to have a specific section in every arena that's exclusively for them so that they can watch NBA games live. That way, they will have a ‘bird's eye view' of what's happening.

Get it? Bird's eye? View? Because they're… birds?

Oh, right, bats can't see.

With the All-Star festivities just around the corner, maybe some of these bats would like to check that out.
