Jimmy Butler III is expected to remain sidelined when the Golden State Warriors open training camp next month as he continues his recovery from a torn right ACL. While no official return date exists, the forward has avoided setbacks and recently showed positive results in strength testing. Reports suggest he could return to the court between January and February 2027, with some indicators noting he could be ahead of the initial schedule. Upon the start of training camp, Butler will be limited to individual court and strength exercises rather than full-contact work. The organization remains cautious regarding his timeline as he works through a lengthy rehabilitation process. His return is viewed as a significant factor for the Warriors' potential performance during the 2026-27 season, given the team is also navigating injury concerns regarding Moses Moody and Stephen Curry.
