Jimmy Butler Out Into 2027 With Torn Right ACL

Jimmy Butler is out for the Warriors while he recovers from a torn right ACL, with an estimated return date of January 2, 2027. Anthony Slater of ESPN reports Butler could actually be back anywhere between January and February. Golden State has already played three games without him to open the season, and last season he was putting up 20.0 points a night before the injury.

01The story of the nightInjury ReportButler is out with a knee injury on his right leg, officially diagnosed as a torn ACL.

Butler is out with a knee injury on his right leg, officially diagnosed as a torn ACL. The team's estimated return date is January 2, 2027, but Anthony Slater of ESPN reports the real range could stretch from January into February as Butler continues his recovery. The issue first showed up on the injury report on September 6, 2026, during the preseason, and it has kept him off the floor ever since. For a 37-year-old forward in his 15th season, there is no firm word yet on which end of that January-to-February window is more likely, only that the Warriors are not rushing him back.

02Life Without Butler So FarGolden State has already opened the season playing three games with Butler unavailable, each showing zero points,…

Golden State has already opened the season playing three games with Butler unavailable, each showing zero points, zero rebounds, zero assists and 0.0 minutes for him. The Warriors lost to the Trail Blazers on October 7, beat the Lakers on October 6, and lost to the Clippers on October 4. That stretch gives an early look at how the roster handles minutes and shot creation without its veteran forward on the floor, and it is the backdrop for whatever comes next while Butler works his way back from the right knee injury.

03What He Gave the Warriors Last SeasonBefore this injury, Butler was still a key piece in Golden State.

Before this injury, Butler was still a key piece in Golden State. Last season he played 38 games, averaging 20.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.2 blocks in 31.1 minutes a night. He shot 51.9 percent from the field, 37.6 percent from three and 86.4 percent from the line, with a true shooting mark of 64.6 percent and a usage rate of 22.6. His plus-minus sat at 4.9, and he did all of it already wearing a Warriors jersey, since Golden State was his team last season too. Those numbers are the standard the Warriors are waiting to get back to once he's healthy.

04Butler's BackgroundButler wears number 10 and plays forward at 6-foot-6 and 230 pounds.

Butler wears number 10 and plays forward at 6-foot-6 and 230 pounds. He is 37 years old and in his 15th NBA season, having come out of Marquette. That experience and size at the forward spot are part of why his absence is notable: he is not a young piece Golden State can simply replace in the rotation, but a veteran who was still producing starter-level numbers across scoring, playmaking and defense last season before this knee injury sidelined him.

05Looking AheadThe question for Golden State now is patience.

The question for Golden State now is patience. The team's own target has Butler back by January 2, 2027, but Anthony Slater's reporting pushes that out to a January-through-February window, which means the Warriors could be navigating a good chunk of the season without him. Given that he was averaging 20.0 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.9 assists last season in 38 games, his return will matter once it happens. Until then, the results from October 4, 6 and 7 are the early sample of what Golden State looks like while he recovers from the torn right ACL.
