Warriors vs Rockets: Will Jimmy Butler Play Tonight? Latest Update on Golden State’s Star Forward
ES 
EN Steve Kerr called Jimmy Butler an intelligent player. His impact on the games was quite visible, and the former Miami Heat star is ready to push for his first title with the Warriors this time. The team enjoyed long winning streaks, putting them in the postseason after a difficult start to the regular season. What halted the dream run? Injury to Jimmy Butler.
Yes, the star forward fell awkwardly during the second game against the Rockets. The Warriors’ swingman underwent an MRI that revealed he injured his pelvis and has a deep gluteal muscle contusion. In Game 1, his performance was breathtaking with 25 points, seven rebounds, six assists, and five steals in 42 minutes of play. In regular season games, he averaged 17.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.4 assists, and 1.4 steals per game, which might not be flashy to Butler’s usual production, yet impactful enough as he is playing a different role in the Bay Area.
The Warriors did well without Butler in game 3, with Curry making the game with 38 points. The Warriors are set to host the Rockets in a pivotal matchup, a possible series-decider match. But will they play without Butler this time?

Will Jimmy Butler Play in Game 4?
As per the injury report, Jimmy Butler is registered as questionable for the match. The star had a 4-day recovery period and is yet to recover completely from the injury. Though he is examined on a day-to-day basis, the 35-year-old is working hard with the training staff to pass the fitness test.
Steve Kerr is expected to play an impactful role and may utilise him for a limited time. GP II and Buddy Hield were effective in game 3, helping the Warriors win. Kerr will look to rotate between the three of them and try to win the series early. The fifth game of the series will be played on April 30, giving Butler a longer recovery period.
