Jimmy Butler shows up to support Warriors teammate Steph Curry at ACC tournament originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Programming note: The American Century Championship is airing locally on NBC Bay Area (KNTV) on Sunday from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. PT.
Jimmy Butler knows a thing or two about a high-stakes sports atmosphere, so who better to show Steph Curry some support during the final round of the American Century Championship on Sunday in South Lake Tahoe.
The Warriors forward showed up to cheer on his teammate as Curry battles for another ACC title on the celebrity golf tournament’s final day — certainly a welcome sight for the four-time NBA champion, who started the day tied for ninth and had pushed into the top five by the time he greeted Butler.
Butler and Curry were on the court together two months ago as Golden State played against the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference semifinals, but the Warriors’ NBA playoff run was cut short after their Game 5 loss on May 14.
After their postseason push, it looks like Butler is still a bit too tired to walk from hole to hole in Tahoe.
As Curry looks to reclaim his ACC crown following a one-year absence from the tournament, perhaps Playoff Jimmy’s presence will help him lock in even more than he already has. Butler’s 2025 NBA trade deadline arrival paid dividends for the Warriors, and in the fall they’ll begin their first full campaign together after forging a bond in just a few short months last season.
Time will tell if Curry adds another ACC title to his mantle before he and Butler begin their path to the Larry O’Brien Trophy come October.
