Warriors Star Jimmy Butler Tears ACL, Out for Season

The Golden State Warriors announced Tuesday that Jimmy Butler has suffered a torn ACL in his right knee, officially ending his season.

Coach Steve Kerr expressed deep disappointment for Butler, highlighting his strong performance this season and the missed opportunities due to the injury. Butler fell awkwardly during Monday's game against the Miami Heat, immediately signaling a severe injury.

Despite the significant loss, Kerr remains optimistic about the team's depth. He noted contributions from players like Al Horford and De'Anthony Melton, as well as the readiness of younger players to step up.

The team now faces the challenge of maintaining their recent momentum, having won 12 of their last 16 games, without their key player.

Attention also turns to Jonathan Kuminga, who has been inactive since December 18th amidst trade discussions. Kerr indicated Kuminga could be part of the rotation again as the Warriors experiment with new lineups in Butler's absence.
