Stephen Curry gets heartfelt support from Jimmy Butler in Tahoe amid offseason break
The Golden State Warriors teammates Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler have recently grabbed attention after a clip of the duo appeared online. Butler came to support Curry in Tahoe as the Warriors veteran having his best of time playing golf.
Stephen Curry's attempt to reclaim his American Century Championship crown certainly got a surprise boost from Butler. As Curry stepped into the final round of the celebrity golf tournament in South Lake Tahoe, Butler's courtside energy followed him to the fairways. The four-time NBA champion was locked in and rising through the ranks on Sunday, and the presence of Butler, who joined the Warriors earlier this year, added to the moral support.
Jimmy Butler backs Stephen Curry in heartfelt Tahoe appearance during offseason golf showdown
Jimmy Butler's unexpected appearance at Edgewood Tahoe showed the growing chemistry between two elite competitors. Despite being fresh off a playoff exit, Butler made the trip to stand behind his teammate during the ACC tournament's final stretch. 'Some familiar faces made it to Tahoe,' the Golden State Warriors posted on X, alongside a video of Butler patiently waiting for Curry on the course.
Their growing friendship has been one of the more exciting developments for Warriors fans since Butler was acquired in a blockbuster five-team deal.
The trade sent Andrew Wiggins, Kyle Anderson, and a protected first-round pick out the door in exchange for Butler.
Butler and Curry, who last played together on May 14 in the Western Conference semifinals against the Timberwolves, are using this offseason to strengthen their off-court bond before heading into their first full campaign as teammates this fall. Butler's late-season arrival already paid off in flashes, and now the duo looks poised to lead a new era for the Warriors.
Curry, meanwhile, returned to the American Century Championship after missing last year's tournament due to his Olympic commitments in Paris. The 2023 champion didn't take his prep lightly, even if his words hinted at a relaxed approach. 'So I've learned playing in this tournament for what, 10, 11 years, you have expectations, and you're trying to, it's almost like pulling an all-nighter for a test, trying to cram everything," Curry said.
"Because, you know, I play a decent amount, but nobody ever says, 'I play enough golf or practice enough.' So as long as I have a good idea of what I'm trying to do, I can just live with the results, which is where I'm now.'
Though Curry couldn't capture the title, finishing tied for third with 58 points, his Sunday surge, rising from T9 to T3, marked his best showing of the weekend. With Butler looking on, he even edged out former NFL stars and fan favorites like Tony Romo, Adam Thielen, and Taylor Twellman.
It was not all. Curry also showed a glimpse of his basketball brilliance as he shot a splendid throw from the tee box and casually walked away.

‘My dad is a volleyball player. This is his Arjuna Award, and that is mine. I got it in 2013': Inside PV Sindhu's hill-top home in Hyderabad
Built on a hill and surrounded by lush greenery, PV Sindhu's Hyderabad home offers panoramic views of the city. 'I think everything comes together is what home is for me, because when I say explain and express yourself, I think it's very important—whether it's to yourself—you're calm, you're peaceful, at one place, if you want to just… just relax. So I think everything connects to one thing, and I think that is home for me.' The Olympic medallist's home is as much a retreat as it is a shrine to years of hard work. 'This is built on a hill, there's a lot of greenery around, and it's so peaceful… when you come home, most of the time you're tired… but for me, when I come home, it's like a refreshment altogether,' Sindhu said. Inside, the design reflects both simplicity and polished modernity. The family sits together on the first floor, where Sindhu spends time with her nephew, parents, and dog, Rio. But it's not just about leisure. This is also a home that honours hustle. 'Here it is—my gym—where I do all my fitness, my weight training, and yeah… running and cycling… I work out here and that's where I get that strength and that stamina from,' Sindhu explained. One space is devoted to her awards, as well as those of her father, PV Ramana, who is also an Arjuna awardee. 'This is where all my medals are…My dad is a volleyball player. This is his Arjuna Award, and this is my Arjuna Award—I got it in 2013. I think… I don't know which is nicer, but I would say mine is nicer… anyway,' Sindhu laughs. There's a rare humility in how Sindhu speaks of her journey, yet her house doesn't shy away from showcasing her achievements. In fact, she sees her awards as an extension of family pride and shared legacy. 'It's very rare that a father and a daughter from different sport having Arjuna Award. I'm really very proud to have a father like him—because he has inspired me a lot.' Even today, her father is involved in her daily training. That support system, which is part mentorship and part parenthood, is what transforms this athlete's house into a nurturing ecosystem. 'He comes and sits there until I finish my training sessions… he keeps telling me what it is, how am I doing… that gives me a lot of motivation,' Sindhu said. The interiors themselves are a blend of wood and gold tones, layered with light-coloured fabrics that bring in softness. 'We've used a lot of gold essence and a lot of wood so that… it mixes up and it matches really well… everyone together decided that it would be nice and simple.' Outdoor corners are as thoughtfully designed as the indoors, with textural benches, leafy vistas and wooden accents for late evening chats. 'It's not just that you're sitting on grass and seeing the greenery, but also a few elements like this, it feels really good and really interesting.'
