Jimmy Butler
Injury
Jimmy Butler will miss Tuesday’s exhibition game against the Trail Blazers due to an ankle sprain sustained in practice last Friday. He also skipped Sunday’s match against the Lakers as he is still experiencing swelling, according to Warriors head coach Steve Kerr. With the regular season starting on October 21, the team is optimistic about Butler’s return for Friday’s preseason finale, minimizing fantasy managers’ concerns over his long-term availability.
