Travis and Jason Kelce are reportedly going to be courtside for the Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Boston Celtics NBA game on Tuesday night.
A day after the older Kelce brother, Jason, tearfully announced his retirement from the NFL the brothers, who grew up in Cleveland, will be honored at the game.
The Cavs are giving away bobblehead dolls of each brother and there will be exclusive Kelce/Cavs merchandise on sale, with some of the proceeds going to charity, according to WKYC – who say both brothers will be there.
The brothers are Cleveland natives and have long supported their hometown Cavs.
The miniature Kelces are decked out in blue Cavs jerseys in the bobblehead – Travis in his familiar No. 87, Jason in No. 62 – not bare-chested like he was while attending his brother’s recent playoff game in snowy Buffalo.

It comes just a day after Jason, 36, tearfully announced his retirement from football
, who played basketball in high school, has vehemently supported all three Cleveland pro sports teams and once dreamed of playing for the Browns.
And being honored by the Cavs will feel particularly poignant for Jason after quitting football on Monday.
The 36-year-old wept throughout as he gave a 40-minute speech announcing his decision to end his career after 13 years with the Philadelphia Eagles. Travis was sat in the audience watching on and cried too.
‘I have been the underdog my entire career,’ Kelce said. ‘And I mean it when I say it, I wish I still was.’
‘It´s only too poetic I found my career being fulfilled in the city of brotherly love, I knew that relationship all too well.’
Wednesday night’s game at RocketMortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland has the makings of a classic, as well.
The Cavs are third in the Eastern Conference standings with a 39-21 record while the Celtics are the runaway leader on 48-12.
Boston owns an 11-game winning streak, and has won eight in a row away from home. The Celtics turned in their most impressive half of the season Sunday when they built a 44-point halftime lead en route to a 140-88 home victory over Golden State.
The brothers, who will go down as legend of the NFL, grew up together in Cleveland
Tuesday’s game will be the start of a five-game road trip that also takes Boston to games against Denver, Phoenix, Portland and Utah.
Cleveland is coming off Sunday’s night’s 107-98 loss to the New York Knicks.
The Cavaliers were without leading scorer Donovan Mitchell, who has missed the past two games with a sore knee.
