{ "title": "Jimmy Butler's Season Ends in Devastating Blow as MRI Confirms ACL Tear", "article": "Golden State Warriors suffered a crushing blow when Jimmy Butler was carted off the court during Monday's 135-112 win over the Miami Heat. The 34-year-old star's season is now over after an MRI confirmed a torn right ACL, a devastating setback for a team that had been gaining momentum with 12 wins in their last 16 games. Butler's injury occurred in the third quarter when he landed awkwardly after colliding with Davion Mitchell, who was fouled. The veteran guard was unable to put weight on his right leg and required assistance from teammates Gary Payton II and Buddy Hield to reach the locker room. Warriors coach Steve Kerr expressed concern about Butler's injury, stating that the team would await the MRI results before making any further decisions. However, the news was soon confirmed, leaving the team and their fans reeling. The Warriors had been on a roll, securing victories in 12 of their last 16 games and re-entering playoff contention with a 25-19 record. Butler's loss is a significant blow to their chances, and the team will now have to regroup and adjust without their star player. "
