The Golden State Warriors will be looking to stay competitive once again next season, and they’ve already made some moves to try to accomplish that goal. There are still some things they’ll have to wait for, such as players coming back from injuries like Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody.
As for Butler, he’s recovering from a torn ACL he suffered during this past season, and everything seems to be going according to plan as far as his rehab, according to Nick Friedell of The Athletic.
“Jimmy says he’s doing well in his rehab. He’s about a month and a half away from running again. He’s hoping to have the team back down to his San Diego area home before training camp starts again,” Friedell wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
There isn’t a clear timetable for Butler’s return to the floor, but as long as he’s making progress in rehab, he should be ready to go later in the season. He was a key part of the team’s success the past two seasons, and if the Warriors want to try to maximize a championship window for the next few years, having him will be important.
For now, the Warriors will need to make some moves during the offseason, and the most recent thing they did was re-sign Al Horford. A few days ago, they drafted Yaxel Lendeborg, and he may play some important minutes early in his rookie season while Butler is sidelined.
As long as Stephen Curry is on the floor, the Warriors will have a chance in any game, but his supporting cast will have to step up alongside him. It was reported that the Warriors were trying to be active in the trade market, but so far, they have not been able to land a big fish to take them over the top.
