According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, following an MRI, the Golden State Warriors have diagnosed Jimmy Butler with a deep glute contusion. An injury suffered in Game 2 following a collision with Amen Thompson.

Right now, Butler’s status for Game 3 is in “serious jeopardy” and is unsure when he will be able to play next. He needed assistance back to the locker room and was in severe pain.

Heading into Game 3, which is set to take place in Golden State, the series is tied at one-apiece.

According to Marc Stein and Jake Fischer, the Phoenix Suns and Atlanta Hawks are both interested in hiring Bob Myers to run their organization. Two teams who desperately want to change the trajectory of their future.

Myers hasn’t been in charge of a front office since stepping down as the Golden State Warriors’ general manager and executive back in 2022-23. Since then, the 50-year-old has worked at ESPN and a brief consultant for the NFL’s Washington Commanders.

Both teams will reportedly have a hard time successfully convincing Myers to join their franchise, as the Suns have no cap space and picks, and the Hawks are on another time zone with a franchise always being stuck in the middle.

Beyond the challenges of the two franchises, Myers has not hinted wanting to leave his broadcasting job at ESPN. It’s unclear where he stands on this matter.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Milwaukee Bucks and general manager Jon Horst have agreed to a contract extension to keep him with the organization for the foreseeable future.

Currently, the deal is known as a “multi-year contract,” it’s unknown the exact years of the deal.

For those that did not know, Horst’s previous contract was set to expire. For Milwaukee, securing an extension with him was very important.

Horst has been with the Bucks since 2017, as he’s had a lengthy, successful resume. Most notably winning an NBA championship with the franchise, securing multiple contracts with Giannis Antetokounmpo, strategically landing Damian Lillard, and making key moves to keep Milwaukee a top-five team in an ever-evolving Eastern Conference.

Plus, in all eight seasons of his tenure with the team, Milwaukee has made the playoffs. Horst has a .647 win percentage, which is second-best in the league during that eight year time frame.

In 2024, the Detroit Pistons tried persuading him to join their team. Then, most recently, the Phoenix Suns were having their eyes set on Horst and trying to get him to join their franchise.
