  • Yaxel LendeborgLeanStarted both games Butler missed (about 34 minutes), but Moody and Porziņģis also sat.
Someone else out too? Sit two or more and see who gains
22 games without Butler, 32 with him (2025-26 and 2026-27 regular season, only games Podziemski, Green and Moody played).

With Butler out, Gui Santos played 26 minutes a game instead of 10 and put up 25 fantasy points instead of 9 (20 games).

Buddy Hield, who went from 14 to 19 minutes in these games last season, is now with CHI.

Big numbers are per game without him; “was” is with him, counting only games the teammate played. “Shots” is field-goal attempts. Fewer than 5 games is marked as a small sample.
