NBA star Jimmy Butler is heading to the Golden State Warriors in a major trade. Get details on his new number, debut timeline, and the impact this move has on both teams.
In a blockbuster trade, the Golden State Warriors have acquired All-Star guard Jimmy Butler . This highly anticipated move reshapes the landscape of the Western Conference as Butler joins forces with a Warriors team already boasting a talented roster. Butler will reportedly be sporting a new number when he takes the court for Golden State. According to NBA insider reports, the 35-year-old veteran will don the No. 10 jersey, a number he has never worn in his previous NBA stints.
Throughout his time with the Chicago Bulls, Minnesota Timberwolves, Philadelphia 76ers, and Miami Heat, Butler has consistently worn the No. 21, No. 23, and No. 22 respectively. He even donned the No. 33 during his college years at Marquette University. Interestingly, all three of his previous NBA jersey numbers are currently occupied by Warriors players. While the No. 22, currently worn by Andrew Wiggins, is expected to become available upon Butler's arrival, the star guard has opted for a fresh start with the No. 10. Seventeen players have worn the No. 10 jersey for the Warriors throughout their history, with recent examples including Ty Jerome in 2023 and Brad Wanamaker in 2021. The legendary Tim Hardaway also wore the No. 10 for the Warriors from 1990 to 1996. The anticipation is building for Butler's debut with the Warriors. Their next game is scheduled for Thursday against the Los Angeles Lakers. If he doesn't take the court then, his first opportunity to play in a Warriors uniform will be against his former team, the Chicago Bulls, on Saturday, February 8th.
