The Timberwolves eventually granted Butler his wish 13 games into the 2018-19 season by moving him to the Philadelphia 76ers. He ended his career in Minnesota with averages of 22.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 2.0 steals, and 0.5 blocks per game. We're approaching a decade since Butler's exit, but the fans still haven't let go of their anger.

Minnesota Timberwolves fans made their feelings about Jimmy Butler adamantly clear as hosts of Game 1 against the Golden State Warriors. Every time Butler touched the ball, boos rained down on the Warriors star who had made his return to the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minn., for the first time since 2021.
