Jimmy Butler Undergoes Successful ACL Surgery, Out for Season

Golden State Warriors forward Jimmy Butler underwent successful surgery Monday in Los Angeles to repair a torn right anterior cruciate ligament, an injury suffered on January 19. The procedure went as expected, marking the start of his recovery process. He will miss the remainder of the season, and while a timeline for his return is not yet clear, the Warriors anticipate providing an update on his progress early in the 2026-27 campaign. His absence is a significant blow to the team's playoff hopes.
