BUTLER'S LOOKING FOR MAGIC IN FLORIDA
The Straits Times
|November 19, 2025
Warrior's two-show tour starts at Orlando, before a reunion with former team Miami
-
The Jimmy Butler two-show Florida reunion tour kicks off on Nov 18 night (Nov 19 morning, Singapore time) when the former Miami Heat standout takes centre stage as the Golden State Warriors visit the Orlando Magic.
Transferred early in February from the Heat to the Warriors, Butler joined Golden State in time for both their visits to Florida last season, which came on separate southeast excursions.
The first of the two saw him play a complementary role in new teammate Stephen Curry’s 56-point explosion in a 121-115 win at Orlando in late February.
Butler had only five points in the game but tied Brandin Podziemski for game-high assist honours with seven.
Four of his assists came on Curry three-pointers as the all-time distance-shooting king buried 12 in all.
Butler himself inflicted pain on the Magic many times during his days with the Heat, going for 20 or more points on five separate occasions, including 38 in a visit in March 2023.
He has 358 points, 93 assists and 43 steals in games at Orlando in his career.
Golden State visit Miami on Nov 19 on the second night of a back-to-back.
