Golden State Warriors forward Jimmy Butler has been sued for allegedly owing $260,000 in unpaid rent on a home in Miami

Golden State Warriors forward Jimmy Butler has been sued for allegedly failing to pay $260,000 in rent and leaving behind more than $127,000 in damages related to a luxury home he leased in Miami Beach,

The Warriors were playing without six-time All-Star Jimmy Butler for the first time since trading for him, and the team clearly felt his absence. The Warriors are 7-1 when Butler plays, and Golden State desperately needs him back on the court moving forward.

Jimmy Butler is listed as probable due to back spasms for the Golden State Warriors game on Tuesday against the Hornets.

With Curry still playing at a superstar level, the Warriors struck a trade deadline deal to land Jimmy Butler, looking to maximize their generational talent's time with the club. Upon his arrival, Butler posted a 7-1 record when in Golden State's lineup. He's elevated play for everyone on the hardwood with him, especially Curry.
