Jimmy Butler Injury Update: Out
Jimmy Butler remains on Out for the Warriors. Expected return is slated for 2027-01-02. Details: Injury/Illness - Right ACL Repair / Surgery (2026-10-21, GSW@LAL). Prior reporting (2026-10-16): Butler (knee) could return sometime between January and February as he continues recovering from a torn right ACL, Anthony Slater of ESPN reports. Butler, who underwent surgery after suffering the injury Jan. 19, has progressed to individual court work but still has several rehabilitation milestones to clear. His next step involves landing comfortably after a game-speed jump. Coach Steve Kerr is hopeful Butler can rejoin Golden State for the latter portion of the season, though no official return date has been announced. The 37-year-old forward remains a significant part of the Warriors' plans and could provide a substantial boost during the second half of the campaign.
