Before the Golden State Warriors' regular-season came to an end on Sunday night, a familiar face joined the team on the court for their pregame shootaround at Los Angeles' Intuit Dome. Injured All-Star forward Jimmy Butler made an appearance while the Warriors warmed up for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Los Angeles Clippers.
Butler got some shots up with his teammates on the court. Steph Curry dished a pass to Butler during shootaround that he hilariously ended up air-balling.

Butler's season came to an end when he suffered a torn ACL injury in his right knee on Jan. 19 against the Miami Heat. Butler underwent successful knee surgery in Los Angeles in early February. Butler has missed the last 37 games for the Warriors as he's been recovering from his knee injury.
In 38 games, Butler averaged 20 points on 51.9% shooting from the field to go along with 5.6 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game during the 2025-26 campaign prior to his injury.
