During a recent game against the Lakers, Jimmy Butler of the Golden State Warriors suffered a left forearm injury in the third quarter. Despite this, he returned to play the entire fourth, contributing crucial points to secure the team's victory. Butler noted he may need further tests but remained optimistic about playing in the next match. Meanwhile, Draymond Green praised Butler's toughness, acknowledging his critical role in closing out the game. Additionally, Stephen Curry continued to play despite a tailbone injury, scoring a notable 37 points in the match.
Butler's return in the fourth quarter helped the Warriors close out their fourth consecutive win, as he scored seven of his 11 points in the final 12 minutes.
"Jimmy's tough as hell, and we needed him to come back in to close that game up," Golden State power forward Draymond Green said.
Butler said he might have to undergo further testing on his forearm and see how he feels on Friday to determine if he can play at Chase Center.
Stephen Curry, who has been playing with a pelvic contusion, took a fall on his tailbone Thursday night but shook off the injury and finished with 37 points.
