The New York Knicks were victorious in the end-of-season finals in 2026, with the San Antonio Spurs going down 4-1 in the best-of-seven match.

Now, a Golden State Warriors player has let his Instagram followers know that he’s actually a Nottingham Forest fan.

Jimmy Butler shows off Forest colours in Instagram post

Butler played 11 times for Golden State last season, and it would seem that he’s a big Forest fan.

He’s posted a photograph of himself on Instagram wearing a Forest baseball cap, and naturally, it’s sparked some intrigue.

Football – or soccer as it’s known in the United States – isn’t always on the minds of sports stars across the pond, but it appears Butler isn’t keen on supporting a big six outfit.

Nottingham Forest News has an exclusive source that informs us that Butler is a big Forest fan and tries to watch as many games as possible when his time allows.

Will Oliver Glasner utilise any of the forgotten men at Nottingham Forest? If so, who?

Let us know who you have high hopes for…

Butler has played for the Miami Heat, Chicago Bulls, Philadelphia 76ers and Minnesota Timberwolves during his career, with the 36-year-old enjoying a fine career.

On the day that Forest released their new shirt to the general public, perhaps next we will see images of Butler donning the new Forest jersey or even down at a game, should his busy schedule allow.
