Alex Rodriguez flies to Teterboro as NBA Draft eve looms in New York

Alex Rodriguez flew from West End Airport in the Bahamas to Teterboro Airport in New Jersey on June 5, 2026, a 2-hour-39-minute hop in his Gulfstream IV SP, N313AR. The flight arrived just after 7:50 p.m. Eastern, touching down at the airport he often uses for New York-area business.

Rodriguez, who co-owns the Minnesota Timberwolves with Marc Lore, landed in New Jersey the same evening the NBA Draft is set to begin at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, two miles south of Teterboro. The Timberwolves hold three picks in the June 6 draft, including the 26th overall selection, per league schedules published this week. Rodriguez's ownership group has been actively reshaping the team's roster entering the 2026 offseason, and the draft represents a key opportunity for roster moves.

The trip continues a familiar pattern for Rodriguez: his Gulfstream has flown the Miami–Teterboro corridor six times in the past four months, according to flight history on Celebplanes. With his ESPN baseball analyst duties and A-Rod Corp offices in the New York area, Teterboro has become his most frequent northern stop — and a draft-week visit is entirely on-brand for a man who now helps steer an NBA franchise.
