You know the NBA season has officially come to a close when social media follows are brought to the forefront.

With rumors running rampant over the Boston Celtics' potential pursuit of soon-to-be free agent Gordon Hayward, point guard Isaiah Thomas added fuel to the fire by following the Utah Jazz star on Instagram.

It appears to have been temporary, though, as Thomas has since unfollowed Hayward.

Thomas' wife, Kayla Wallace, did, however, keep her recent follow of Hayward's wife, Robyn Hayward, so take that for what it's worth.

Gordon, who played under Celtics head coach Brad Stevens at Butler, has a $16.7-million player option he'll reportedly turn down for next season with Utah, thus making him an unrestricted free agent.
