Butler averaged 17.9 points, 5.9 assists and 5.5 rebounds in 30 regular season games for the Warriors after coming over in a deadline trade from the Miami Heat. He scored 25 points in Golden State's Game 1 victory and had chipped in three points before exiting Wednesday's matchup.

Golden State Warriors star Jimmy Butler suffered a pelvis and deep glute muscle contusion when he took a hard fall in Game 2 of their first-round series against the Houston Rockets on Wednesday, and he's questionable to play in Game 3 on Saturday,
