A Golden State Warriors player caught a hilarious stray from Jimmy Butler following the Dubs’ incredible 126-121 win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif.
As Butler was making his way to the Warriors’ locker room, he gave a shoutout to the players, who stepped up and delivered for the team against the Clippers, but also couldn’t keep himself from taking a harmless shot at reserve Will Richard.
“Dre, Steph, Gui, Big Al, wow. Will Richard didn’t do anything, but he was over there with me, cheering his heart out. Wow,” Butler said.

Richard was one of four active Warriors players who did not see action in the game. The others were Charles Bassey, Seth Curry, and Pat Spencer, who all cheered from the bench along with Butler, who suffered a season-ending knee injury in January.
Richard was not expected to see ample minutes in such a crucial game, even if head coach Steve Kerr called on him to play. Still, he gets some points for being a supportive teammate, as the Warriors mustered enough strength in the final quarter to overcome a big deficit and steal a win on the road to keep their playoff hopes alive.
The Warriors need just one more win to qualify for the playoffs. They will face the Phoenix Suns on Friday at the Mortgage Matchup Center in Phoenix, Ariz., for the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference and the right to face reigning NBA champions Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round.
