SAN FRANCISCO – Warriors star Jimmy Butler is reportedly expected to play in Monday night’s Game 4 against the Houston Rockets.
Butler is listed as questionable with a pelvic contusion, but he and the Warriors expect him to return, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania, after he missed Saturday’s Game 3. He participated fully in the morning shootaround, Charania reported.
Butler was hurt in the first quarter of Game 2 when he landed hard on his backside after leaping for a rebound and being undercut by Houston’s Amen Thompson. He left the game shortly thereafter and was questionable for Game 3 before ultimately sitting out.
The Warriors won Game 3 at Chase Center on Saturday night, 104-93, as Butler looked on from the bench in street clothes with a pelvic injury and glute contusion and Golden State took a 2-1 lead in the series.
