Reynolds immediately bit back at his team's star player, telling the injured star to get back to working on his recovery after an operation.
"Oh, I know that voice, Mullin," he said. "Why aren't you doing calisthenics right now, buddy? Maybe stretch that recently fixed back out a little bit. I don't know. Maybe make good on an investment in a promise that we made."
Wolverine actor Jackman chimed in, declaring himself a "big fan" of the forward, adding: "I'd love to get your autograph one day."
Reynolds attempted to sour the budding friendship between his star player and good friend, saying: "His favourite celebrity, actually, that came by is Will Ferrel, so yeah."
