Unfortunately, they had to say their goodbyes at last week&#8217;s trade deadline. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Butler&#8217;s season came to an end prematurely last month when he suffered a season-ending torn ACL. The veteran was previously putting up 20 points, 5.6 boards and 4.9 assists per game. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Hield&#8217;s role decreased in Golden State this year, as he was putting up eight points per game in 17.5 minutes. He&#8217;ll look to take on a larger role with the Hawks heading into the rest of the season. <\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jimmy Butler is already missing his friend and former teammate.
