The Golden State Warriors are set to welcome back a crucial player as Jimmy Butler is expected to return for Game 4 against the Houston Rockets. Butler has been sidelined with a pelvic contusion but is now cleared to play, according to NBA insider Chris Haynes.
Butler sustained the injury during Game 2 of the series after a collision with Rockets guard Amen Thompson, resulting in a deep glute muscle contusion. Although he avoided a fracture, the injury was severe enough to keep him out of Game 3. Despite his absence, the Warriors secured a 104-93 victory over the Rockets.
With a 2-1 series lead, the Warriors are looking to capitalize on Butler’s return as they host the Rockets for the second home game of the series. Butler’s presence on the court is expected to bolster the team’s performance as they aim to extend their lead in the series.
