Warriors news: Butler will explode, Horford load management, game update against Lakers
6:43pm, 21 October 2025【Basketball】
On October 21, three pieces of news came out about the Golden State Warriors. Fans and friends who care about the Warriors should not miss it.
Butler is about to explode

Today, famous reporter Chris Haynes said on a show that Warriors forward Jimmy Butler practiced hard this offseason and is looking forward to his performance in the new season. Haynes said: "A person very close to Butler revealed that Butler has worked hard this year and is preparing for the new season as if he has just entered the NBA and started his rookie season. Butler's confidence and physical condition are at their best in recent years, and he can't wait to play. And helped the Warriors compete for the championship. "Before the trade deadline last season, Butler was traded to the Warriors by the Miami Heat, helping the Warriors to have a winning streak, and finally entered the playoffs with the seventh record in the Western Conference, and defeated the Rockets in the first round of the playoffs. However, due to Curry's injury, they lost to the Timberwolves in the second round.

Butler has always been a hard-charging character who is "very ruthless and doesn't talk much". He doesn't like to speak harshly or make big talk, and only likes to prove it with his actual performance on the field. Obviously, being kicked out by the Heat last season and failing to perform well in the playoffs (averaging 19.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 5.2 assists per game, the lowest score in the past seven years) had a great impact on Butler, so he made up his mind to train hard in the offseason. Butler's personal strength and team leadership skills are obvious to all. Leading the Heat to the Eastern Conference Finals and the Finals multiple times is the best evidence. I believe he will prove himself strongly in the new season with a strong passion for revenge.
Horford load management

Today, Warriors coach Steve Kerr accepted an interview with the media and revealed that he will adopt load management for new aid Al Horford in the new season. Cole said: "Horford has been playing in this league for too long. Considering his age and physical wear and tear, we will limit his playing time and will not play back-to-back games in the new season. Which game to play will be temporarily decided based on the schedule." The 39-year-old Horford is about to enter his 19th season. Only James, Durant, Paul, and Lowry have played longer than Horford.

The Warriors have a total of 15 back-to-back games in the new season. If Horford does not play, the impact on the Warriors' record will be self-evident. But the author believes that the Warriors' decision is still wise. On the one hand, Horford is old and has suffered from minor injuries in recent years. If he is forced to play back-to-back games, it is likely to cause unnecessary injury risks due to excessive load; on the other hand, Horford not playing back-to-back games can give young players like Post more playing time and performance opportunities, thereby enriching the team's rotation and adding trustworthy personnel.
Updated appearance against the Lakers

Tomorrow at 10 o'clock in the morning, the Warriors will usher in the opening game of the new regular season, against the Los Angeles Lakers. Today, the Warriors officially released the injury list and appearance status of this game. The details are as follows: Moody (calf injury) will be absent; Butler& Kuminga (ankle injury) is doubtful; other players can play. The Warriors and Lakers are the two teams with the largest fan base and the highest attention in the league. Tomorrow's battle will be comparable to the focus of Mars hitting the earth. By then, can the Warriors, led by Curry, win the away game and get off to a good start? Worth the wait.
