The NBA family received the unfortunate news that former NBA forward Rasual Butler and his wife died on Wednesday morning in a car accident in Los Angeles.
Butler played in the NBA from 2002-16 for Miami, New Orleans, Los Angeles (Clippers), Chicago, Toronto, Indiana, Washington and San Antonio. Butler played with coach Tom Thibodeau for six games with the Bulls in 2010-11, and re-joined Thibodeau in Minnesota on Sept. 26 for training camp and preseason before being released on Oct. 22.
He was 38 years old.
“Just an unbelievable guy. Certainly, our condolences go out to his family,” Thibodeau said on Thursday.
