Warriors' Jimmy Butler has stayed active at training camp in Hawaii despite ACL rehab
Whether it's a budding mentorship of wing Malevy Leons, subconscious teachings of Gui Santos or general smack-talk, injured Warriors star Jimmy Butler has made an impact at training camp.
Golden State Warriors forward Jimmy Butler has remained active during training camp in Hawaii despite recently undergoing knee surgery. Butler, 37, has been seen at the team's practice wearing various arm sleeves, headbands, and knee sleeves, according to an unnamed source. The source shared that Butler was inspired by Malevy Leons, a 27-year-old Dutch forward, to adopt a unique style.
Butler has been working hard on rehab exercises, shooting free throws, and helping other players like Santos, who has taken a significant leap in his game off the back of Butler's injury. Butler's impact is evident as teammates mimic his techniques and skills, hoping to fill the void left by his absence. He hopes to return to the court by February 2027, but is determined to continue competing with his teammates.
