Butler spoke with the media following his announcement where he detailed why he chose to return, saying that there were “a lot of hypotheticals” and uncertainty surrounding the decision and that he had to rely on his faith.
“We just had to put it in God’s hands and hope that he would make it right,” Butler said.
