Butler had four points, one rebound and one assist while shooting 1/2 from the field in his first four minutes of playing time with Golden State.

Via ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk: "Jimmy Butler's first basket as a Warrior comes on the receiving end of a alley-oop lob. He then comes down and does something the Warriors have desperately needed -- draw a foul and go to the line."

Via Anthony Slater of The Athletic: "Jimmy Butler wearing Butler III on the back of his jersey. He was asking Dunleavy after his intro presser if he could get that done. He gets an alley oop from Buddy Hield on his second possession, muscles to the line on his third."
