Butler Eyes Early Return to Warriors

Jimmy Butler is on track for an early season return after tearing his ACL in January, aiming to play alongside Steph Curry and Draymond Green from day one. His recovery, guided by Warriors’ director of medicine Rick Celebrini, has been steady, with optimism growing that he’ll be back stronger than ever — possibly as early as late December or early February. The Warriors, who missed the playoffs last year without him, have built around his return, signing Al Horford and drafting Yaxel Lendeborg to stay competitive. With Steph and Draymond still leading the charge, Butler believes health is the key to playoff success — and the team’s core is ready to finally play together at full strength.
