What happened: Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green participated in the Golden State Warriors' preseason open practice on Sunday. The workout follows offseason speculation regarding Butler's trade market and Green's contract status.

Why it matters: Golden State retained Butler through summer trade discussions and signed Brandin Podziemski to a five-year, $110 million extension starting at $18.9 million in first-year salary. After waiving Alex Toohey, Tyler Burton, and Dalen Terry on Saturday, the Warriors have pared down their camp roster around their veteran core.

What to watch: Golden State wraps up preseason preparations with the 2026-27 NBA regular season tipping off in three days and NBA Cup action beginning Oct. 30.
