Jimmy Butler wants a G League rehab game first

Jimmy Butler still has no set timeline to return from his torn right ACL, but he wants to play at least one game for Golden State's G League affiliate in Santa Cruz before his NBA return, like a baseball rehab stint, The Athletic's Nick Friedell reported. Coach Steve Kerr backs the idea and said most NBA players are "too vain" to consider it. General manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. may be harder to convince.
