Since Butler made his Warriors debut Saturday after Golden State acquired him a week ago, the team has put together two strong wins, albeit against a struggling Chicago Bulls team

Butler’s reported two-year, $121 million contract extension locks him in with Golden State for the foreseeable future with superstar guard Steph Curry. Butler’s arrival should help steady the Warriors in the 2025 Western Conference playoff hunt. However, this situation didn’t look viable earlier in the week.

Butler scored 20 points with nine rebounds and six assists in Golden State's 125-111 win over the Milwaukee Bucks. This comes after he shot 58% from the field and recorded 25 points in his team debut against the Bulls on Feb. 8.
