The spring of Adam Sandler continues in Vancouver, with the comedy icon recently spotted playing basketball with locals at a popular downtown gym.<\/p>\n

Ayhab Farhat, a Vancouver-based dunk coach, posted a video to social media of Sandler on the court at the Teck Resources Gymnasium at the Robert Lee YMCA.<\/p>\n

The star sighting comes just days after the Happy Gilmore<\/a> star stopped by Pepe\u2019s Chophouse in Squamish to enjoy a steak<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cBalling with the boys,\u201d wrote Farhat of Dunk Masters<\/a> in his viral Instagram reel. \u201cGood runs. Good energy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sandler is seen playing a game of pickup basketball with several players in the video, showing off his defensive skills by boxing out the opposing team for any rebounds.<\/p>\n

\u201cDang, bro, how many people can say they\u2019ve hooped with a movie star?\u201d asked one commenter.<\/p>\n

\u201cUmm, might be cooler than playing with an NBA player,\u201d added another.<\/p>\n

The 92,000 sq. ft. Robert Lee YMCA facility at 955 Burrard St. includes an aquatic centre, a large fitness gym, and other recreational spaces.<\/p>\n

Sandler is in B.C. this spring filming a movie called Time Out, which is a remake of a French thriller, and stars alongside Willem Dafoe.<\/p>\n

The film \u201cfollows Vincent, who, after being fired from his job, can\u2019t bring himself to tell his wife and family. He spins a web of lies and creates an investment scheme, and the deception threatens to overwhelm his life,\u201d the IMDb synopsis reads. Sandler will be playing Vincent.<\/p>\n

Tourism Hope, Cascades and Canyons<\/a> also celebrated another recent Sandler sighting, posting a photo of the\u00a0Uncut Gems star posing with a group of locals for a selfie. The photo was provided by Yvonne Bobb.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdam Sandler was spotted right here in Hope, B.C., yesterday,\u201d wrote Hope, Cascades and Canyons. \u201cHe was in town after wrapping up filming at one of our local locations, and a few lucky locals even grabbed selfies with him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s been around B.C. this week filming Timeout with Willem Dafoe, and it looks like Hope made the list, too. No surprise here!\u201d<\/p>\n

Sandler has been in the province for a bit over the last year, as he was filming\u00a0Happy Gilmore 2\u00a0around B.C.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s also been known to enjoy \u201cmorning coffee with the fellas\u201d when he\u2019s in Vancouver.<\/p>\n
