Jimmy Butler hilariously cosplays as Warriors coach during Pelicans game appeared first on ClutchPoints . Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here . Jimmy Butler may be out for a few more months as he recovers from a torn ACL, but he’s trying to make an impact for the Golden State Warriors however he can. And in signature Butler fashion , he finds a way to be hilarious while doing so. Butler was on the Warriors’ bench during their 138-87 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday night. But he wasn’t just in simple street clothes. The injured star forward decided to dress up in full coaching staff cosplay complete with a clipboard prop, all while offering advice and encouragement to his teammates. Via Nick Friedell of The Athletic: Watch sports LIVE with fuboTV (free trial) One can just see that the vibes in the Warriors locker room are immaculate, and that Butler is still well involved in his team even though he can’t suit up yet for his team on the hardwood. Whatever Butler was doing for the team on Monday certainly worked. The Warriors demolished the Pelicans by 51 points, and they have now won eight consecutive games to move to 8-3 on the new campaign. It looked like everything was turning bleak for the Warriors after they lost three consecutive games to start the season. Moreover, Kristaps Porzingis’ injury and eventual decision to step away from the game made it so that the Dubs’ big-money signing this offseason won’t be able to contribute to the team this season. But the Warriors have figured it out, with Stephen Curry playing at an elite level, and the Dubs’ youngsters, such as Yaxel Lendeborg and Brandin Podziemski, have been brilliant for the team during their eight-game winning streak. They are certainly buying enough time for Butler to return, and rumor has it that the Warriors forward is actually ahead of schedule in his recovery. It looks like the Warriors have one last hurrah in them, and it’s as much as Curry deserves after staying committed to the franchise.
