Overview
- On Friday, Aug. 7, Jimmy Butler posted a carousel from Amsterdam that appears to show his workout photos with Stephen Curry’s face photoshopped onto them.
- Stephen Curry responded in the post’s comments with “What is wrong with you 😂,” a short public reply that drew wide attention and laughter.
- Multiple outlets noted the exchange as lighthearted evidence of close locker-room chemistry between the veterans rather than a sign of Butler’s health progress.
- Butler continues formal rehab from the right-knee ACL tear he suffered in January and has said he remains “in the thick of it,” with July reporting that he had “turned the corner” but was still not running unrestricted.
- Butler’s uncertain timetable matters for Golden State’s rotation and salary planning because Curry is healthy, Moses Moody is injured, and the team must decide how much it can count on Butler for the 2026–27 season.
