After Jimmy Butler's coaching debut on the Warriors bench, at least one teammate would prefer he sticks to his day job(s).
Injured Golden State Warriors star Jimmy Butler made a humorous faux coaching debut on the bench during a 138-87 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday. Sidelined while recovering from a torn ACL, Butler wore matching staff attire with head coach Steve Kerr and carried a clipboard during the game.
Butler repeatedly reminded teammates to pass the ball to Stephen Curry, notably directing a written clipboard message at guard De'Anthony Melton. After the blowout win, Melton jokingly reacted that Butler "gotta go home" and declared Butler fired from his coaching role, while Kerr quipped that Butler looked great acting the part.
