The Golden State Warriors have made a key decision regarding Jimmy Butler’s status ahead of Game 4 against the Houston Rockets on Monday The franchise has listed the veteran forward as “questionable” as he continues to recover from a pelvis and glute muscle contusion.
All indications suggest that Butler is on track to make his return for this crucial matchup. The Warriors currently hold a 2-1 series lead, having secured a Game 3 victory in Butler’s absence thanks to a stellar performance from Steph Curry. If the former Miami Heat star is able to suit up for Game 4, it would provide a significant psychological boost for Golden State.

However, Butler’s availability will ultimately be determined following a pregame workout. Head coach Steve Kerr previously indicated on Saturday that Butler was trending in the right direction, noting that the extra rest from sitting out Game 3 was expected to aid his recovery.
“Literally day-to-day,” Kerr said. “It’ll be helpful for him to have another day and then it’s a night game so he gets a few extra hours, so we’ll see. I have no idea right now if he’s going to play.”
Jimmy Butler was outstanding in the only full game he’s played so far in the series. In Game 1, the former Miami Heat star delivered a stellar performance, posting 25 points, seven rebounds, six assists and five steals. Unfortunately, in Game 2, Butler’s impact was cut short as he exited in the first quarter after suffering a hard fall on the court.
