Warriors Win Despite Butler's Injury
Injury Details
During the recent game against the Phoenix Suns, Jimmy Butler of the Golden State Warriors had to leave the court because of soreness in his lower back. This issue began after the Warriors lost to the Indiana Pacers on Saturday night.
Game Performance
Before the game, Butler was considered questionable to play. He warmed up about 90 minutes before the game and was cleared to participate. However, he struggled during the first half, making only one of five shots in 14 minutes of play.
Game Exit
Butler left the game with 7:04 remaining in the second quarter and went to the locker room. He did not return for the second half, and the team announced he would not continue playing during the third quarter.
Season Overview
Since joining the Warriors in February, Butler has been a reliable player, participating in 30 out of 31 regular-season games and missing only one playoff game due to an injury from a fall. He had started all eight games this season before his early exit against the Suns.
Upcoming Schedule
The Warriors are set to play again on Wednesday night in Sacramento, and they will be on the road for eight of their next nine games. Coach Steve Kerr mentioned that Stephen Curry will sit out against the Kings due to a worsening cold, adding to the team's challenges.
