Golden State Warriors’ Jimmy Butler questionable for Game 3 with glute contusion

The Warriors star suffered a deep contusion after a hard fall in Game 2. His status remains uncertain

An MRI showed no structural damage, but Jimmy Butler is in doubt for Game 3 due to a painful gluteal contusion. The Warriors face the Rockets on Saturday with the series tied 1-1.

Butler was injured after a nasty fall during a rebound attempt and did not return. His availability will depend on pain tolerance and response to treatment.

Steve Kerr said they’ll need to “rethink everything” if Butler can’t go. Since joining in February, Butler has transformed the Warriors’ offense and defense.
