Warriors star Jimmy Butler's status for Game 3 against the Rockets remains uncertain following a bruised pelvis injury sustained during Game 2. Coach Steve Kerr expressed optimism about Butler's potential return but noted he would first attempt to work through his injury. The series has been tense, highlighted by multiple technical fouls and a flagrant foul in Game 2. Butler's contributions have been crucial for the Warriors, especially since his mid-season trade, averaging close to 18 points per game, enhancing their offensive flexibility.
Butler averaged 17.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game in 30 regular-season starts since arriving in Golden State, significantly contributing to the team's success.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr noted, 'He'll try to get some work done downstairs, and see if he can go,' indicating Butler's uncertain status for Game 3.
