Overview
- Sandler officiated Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding at Madison Square Garden on Friday and then joined a pickup game in Nantucket on Sunday, July 5.
- A Nantucket Police Department dispatcher, Chris Reynolds, told reporters Sandler phoned the non‑emergency line asking where to find a game and was directed to the Backus Lane court.
- Eyewitnesses said Sandler asked to stretch before jumping into play, showed strong passing and decent layups, hesitated to shoot, and posed for photos afterward.
- Local outlets and players described his friendly demeanor and noted the appearance fits Sandler’s history of joining public pickup games with fans and athletes.
- The episode underscores the contrast between Sandler’s high‑profile role at the wedding and a low‑key public moment that was verified by local reporting and official confirmation, which may encourage similar on‑the‑ground coverage of celebrity encounters.
