Pacific Notes: Butler, Sabonis, J. Green, Ingram
There’s still no definite timeline for Warriors star Jimmy Butler to return from a torn ACL in his right knee, but he’s determined to make the G League part of his rehab process, according to Nick Friedell of The Athletic. Butler wants to play at least one game for the team’s affiliate in Santa Cruz before returning to the NBA, similar to the way injured baseball players often do rehab stints in the minor leagues.
“Well, y’all gonna get your opportunity come Santa Cruz,” Butler said. “Because I’m definitely coming down there to play. So good luck to everybody. Y’all ain’t gonna get too many minutes out of me, but I’m definitely going down there. I want to hoop.”
