Of course, Warriors’ Buddy Hield crashed Jimmy Butler interview after Clippers blowout
The NBA has seen a plethora of close friendships and brotherhoods develop between teammates, and the same has undoubtedly happened with the likes of Buddy Hield and Jimmy Butler.
Hield in particular has made a regular habit of crashing the former Miami Heat star’s post-match interviews, and the same occurred after the Warriors’ 98-79 win over the Los Angeles Clippers.
This time however, Butler stopped his buddy before he could actually crash the interview.
“No, man, no,” he said per a video posted on X by NBA’s official handle.
“They wanna speak with you? You didn’t do s–t today,” Hield claimed before walking away, leaving both the interviewer and Butler grinning.
That may have been a tad bit accurate considering Butler top-scored with the Warriors with 21 points, five assists and five rebounds off 9-12 shooting. The Warriors had returned from the first half with a three-point deficit despite posting an eight-point lead in the first.
However, the Warriors then produced a 32-14 third quarter to take the game away. Butler hit a key 3-pointer late in the third quarter that helped spark a 10-2 run to open the fourth.
Stephen Curry scored 19 points and handed out eight assists, finishing 7-for-15 from the floor. Brandin Podziemski followed his 23-point night against Memphis with 12 points off the bench and helped keep the Warriors within striking distance before the third-quarter takeover.
Quinten Post supplied 12 points on four 3-pointers and grabbed eight rebounds. For the Clippers, James Harden top-scored with 20 points, with all of them coming in the first half.
LA shot a cold 30-of-82 overall (36.6%) and a brutal 6-of-33 from three-point range, eventually handing the game to Golden State.
Pittsburgh Steelers sign versatile former Philadelphia Eagles player
The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed former Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle Jack Driscoll to their practice squad, the team announced. Driscoll has played both tackle spots and can kick inside to guard. Given the Steelers’ insistence on running a jumbo set, he can also play there, having played 21 career snaps.
Driscoll was the Eagles’ fourth-round pick out of Auburn in the 2020 NFL Draft. He has started in 18 games and played in 67 games over his career. After his rookie contract expired following the 2023 season, Driscoll was let go by the Eagles and signed a deal with the Miami Dolphins.
After the Dolphins released him, he was re-signed by the Eagles and eventually joined their active roster. He has not been signed by a team since the Super Bowl, and the Steelers will be his first landing spot.
Standing at 6-foot-4, 306 pounds, Driscoll has 33-inch arms and has become a versatile player who can play all over the offensive line. Driscoll has dealt with some injuries in his career, including a season-ending knee injury in 2020.
The Steelers brought him in for added depth following the injury to starting left guard Isaac Seumalo, who is battling a pectoral strain.
