The Golden State Warriors may have Jimmy Butler back in their lineup for Game 3 against the Houston Rockets, despite recent injury concerns. Butler suffered a deep pelvic contusion in Game 2, leaving him uncertain for the crucial match. Coach Steve Kerr expressed optimism about Butler's potential return, noting his resilience. An MRI ruled out any serious damage, providing hope for his quick recovery.

In Butler's absence, Jonathan Kuminga stepped up, scoring 11 points in 26 minutes. Kerr reassured that the team's game plan remains unchanged, regardless of Butler's status or any adjustments to player rotations.
