The Golden State Warriors face uncertainty as Jimmy Butler is recovering from a deep glute contusion sustained during Game 2 against the Houston Rockets. While imaging ruled out structural damage, his availability for Game 3 remains unclear. Butler, a pivotal player for the Warriors, excelled in Game 1 with 25 points, and his absence could shift the team's dynamics significantly. Coach Steve Kerr downplayed the incident involving Amen Thompson, suggesting it was unintentional. If Butler cannot play, Jonathan Kuminga is poised for an expanded role, having shown promise in his recent performance.
