What We Learned About Golden State Warriors In Minnesota | Jimmy Butler Injury Update

After a tough night for the short-handed Golden State Warriors in Minnesota, Kylen Mills and Charlie Walter break down what went wrong for the team . With several key players missing—including Steph Curry, Jonathan Kuminga, Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green, De’Anthony Melton, and Al Horford—the Warriors’ lack of shot creation and interior presence was on full display, leading to an ugly, lopsided loss against a motivated Timberwolves team.

The hosts dig into the individual performances, pointing out flashes of positivity from young players like Will Richard and Quentin Post, but also acknowledging the daunting post-Steph reality for Dub Nation. They discuss the bench’s inability to generate offense, interior vulnerabilities, and what this could mean for the Warriors’ future roster construction.

In the second half of the show, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Kevin Stone joins to give insight and optimism on Jimmy Butler’s torn ACL, explaining why modern sports medicine advancements mean age is less of an obstacle for elite athletes returning to top form. Dr. Stone’s comments offer hope for Butler’s recovery and future impact with the Warriors.
