Jimmy Butler made his debut for the Warriors wearing a new jersey that honors his heritage with 'Butler III' emblazoned above his number. This change coincided with the anniversary of his father's death, whom he reconnected with later in life. In his first game, he excelled, scoring 25 points as the Warriors triumphed over the Bulls 132-111. Butler emphasized the importance of recognizing athletes as complex individuals with personal struggles, not just public figures.
With the new threads, Butler registered 25 points and four assists while shooting 7-for-12 from the field and 11-for-13 from the foul line.
I don't think you really understand until you understand that athletes are human, too, Butler said during the Netflix show Starting 5. That we hurt and we cry and we grieve and we're angry.
